Package: xen-tools
Version: 3.8-4
Severity: important

A script of mine (a bash script using set -ex) did this:

   ...
   The LVM disk image already exists.  Aborting.
   Specify '--force' to delete and recreate


   Logfile produced at:
            /var/log/xen-tools/thule-2.log
   + mount /dev/vg-thule/thule-2-disk /mnt
   + echo 'hwcap 0 nosegneg'

This is due to this code in xen-create-image:

    if ( -e $disk )
    {
        logprint( "The partition image already exists.  Aborting.\n" );
        logprint( "Specify '--force' to overwrite, or remove the follow\
ing file\n" );
        logprint( $disk . "\n" );
        exit;
    }

`exit' should read `exit 127' or some such.

This bug might easily cause data loss.

Ian.
