I think I fixed it. Sorry. I went into Cockpit and saw it there.

Subject Issue accidentally creating a '--type' defined pool

Hello,

I seem to have accidentally created a pool called "--type", but it doesn't appear in 'virsh pool-list'. See below.

[root@vh01 /]# virsh pool-define-as --name --type dir --target /data/storage/

Pool --type defined

[root@vh01 /]# virsh pool-list

 Name     State    Autostart

------------------------------

 isos     active   yes

 jblake   active   yes

[root@vh01 /]# virsh pool-destroy '--type'

error: command 'pool-destroy' doesn't support option --type

I can't also create a new "default" type because the directory exists for this defined '--type'

[root@vh01 /]# virsh pool-define-as --name default --type dir --target /data/storage/

error: Failed to define pool default

error: operation failed: Storage source conflict with pool: '--type'

[root@vh01 /]# virsh pool-delete "--type"

error: command 'pool-delete' doesn't support option --type

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
