The comment says: /* Now create the final dir in the path with the uid/gid/mode * requested in the config. If the dir already exists, just set * the perms. */ However, virDirCreate is only invoked if the target path doesn't exist yet (which is opposite with the comment), or the uid from the config is not -1 (I don't understand why, think it's just another mistake). And the result is the perms of the pool won't be changed if one tries to build the pool with different perms again. Besides these logic error fix, if no uid and gid are specified in the config, the practical used uid, gid are reflected. --- src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c | 44 +++++++++++++++++++------------------ 1 files changed, 23 insertions(+), 21 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c b/src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c index 169037b..bde4528 100644 --- a/src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c +++ b/src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c @@ -789,30 +789,32 @@ virStorageBackendFileSystemBuild(virConnectPtr conn ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED, /* Now create the final dir in the path with the uid/gid/mode * requested in the config.
