[virt-tools-list] [PATCH] virt-install: avoid disk name collisions

Guido Günther agx at sigxcpu.org

When specifying multiple disks in pool without giving a name:

virt-install \
  --disk=pool=test,bus=virtio,size=3.0,sparse=false
  --disk=pool=test,bus=virtio,size=3.0,sparse=false
  ...

virt-install creates the names before hand which leads to name
collisions later on. Avoid this by filling in a collision list
with the image basenames.

This is overly cautions but better than running into a name collision
during the vm install.
