Delete clone via CLI doesn't delete the virtual disks

juan.arayaMay 8 2014 — edited May 9 2014

Already i have a mini farm of OVM 3.2. For backup porpuses i make an simple script who create a clone of an existing VM, then it copy the clone's virtual disks to my backup drive (NFS mount) and finally deletes the clone. All this are made by OVM CLI commands but today when i look in the repository can see it is full of Virtual Disks, a lot more of the ones that my VM uses.

I think that only thing that could cause this amount of virtual disks (img files) would be the "handmade" backup process. And that are failing because when i delete the clone (via CLI) it doesn't delete the virtual disks. It's diferent if i try to delete a clone VM via OVMM because it asks me if i want to delete the virtual disks too.

Anyone can confirm if it's this happen in your environment too? Theres any way to force a delete via CLI to include the virtual disks too?

Thanks.
