Minor bug...

[tin]

If an ISO image is deleted but a KVM machine still refers to it, the KVM machine will refuse to start with no errors reported.

To reproduce:
Create KVM refering to ISO image (don't start VM)
Delete ISO
Attempt to start KVM guest

I had this just happen with a fairly important KVM guest. It was started fine last week, so I had quite a moment of panic when it didn't this time... Wasn't until I managed to find the correct command line to start the VM that I got to see an actual error.

It might make sense if before deleting an ISO, Proxmox does a quick check for VMs that still refer to it... Something for 2.0? Or is this something that will be taken care of in another way in 2.0?

you will see the error on the task log, see "Administration/Logs/Tasks".

but you are not the first one doesn´s see this place for logs so we will improve it.

Ah - I did look in the syslog section. Didn't think to look in the tasks log.

Good to know you plan to improve things in that regard though... It's not the best feeling when something doesn't work and you don't even know where to start.
