kvm-virtualization

I have a KVM server that I expanded the LV of then rebooted. However now when booting I get the error:

error: Failed to create domain from /home/kvm/kvmx/kvmx.xml error: (domain_definition):1: Document is empty (null) ^

It appears the config file still exits however it is now empty. I attempted to replace the contents of the file with the correct previous information however it continues to wipe it on attempt to boot and fails again with the same error.

How would I got about solving this so the file doesn't get wiped on every reboot?

OS: Centos 6 64bit

I would appreciate any help you may have.
