[libvirt] [Bug] To long backingchain does not work (3 and more...)

Hey there! I'm experiencing a strange behavior with libvirt and backing chains. Getting higher than the first overlay results in a permission denied to the base image and I can't start any machine. # Results while attempting to start machine (after every attemt the whole files from ./houseBackup are restored) Base.img (ok - Win 10 Installation starting) FirstFloor.ovl (ok - Win 10 Installation starting) SecondFloor.ovl (permission denied -> Base.img) => assumed Bug Roof.ovl (permission denied -> Base.img) => assumed Bug The bug is described in detail here together with a minimal example. But maybe I'm still doing something wrong and somebody can give me a heads up =). https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1588373 Thx, yours Xensemann!

We usually read the bugzilla so there's no need to post to the list. Please read my reply in the bugzilla.
