From: Chen Hanxiao <chenhanxiao@cn.fujitsu.com>

If we enable userns, the ownership of dir we provided for containers should match the uid/gid in idmap. Currently, the debug log is very implicit or misleading sometimes. This patch will help clarify this for us when using debug log or virsh.

I do recall hitting some permission issue once, but can't remember just what it was. Can you describe exactly how to reproduce the problem ?

1) Enable user namespace in kernel 2) Add idmap for container 3) Don't change the ownership of devices/ filesystem/ source dir ( leave them to 'root' for instance) 4) Start the container

Usually I got an input/output error by virsh, which is not a good hint.
