This is the version 2 of patches for deleting volume while it is being built. based on the first version: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-July/msg00535.html. The patches is an attempt to spawn a new thread for volume building in storageVolumeCreateXML(), then, the initial thread is waiting for the cancelling signal from storageVolumeDelete(). When it gets the signal, it uses pthread_cancel() to stop the process of volume building, then tell storageVolumeDelete() to continue its job. I go through the codes in other parts of libvirt briefly, such as nodedevice, network. It is rare to spawn a new thread, so this worth a shot or probably not. Any idea is appreciated. -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
