Re: Libvirt + Debian Live = Heart Attack

Hello Michal, thank you for the reply! I've carefully tested everything you suggested, thanks. I set dynamic_ownership=0 and use these hooks during the live build for permissions. (I googled a lot, and apparently libvirt needs the images to be executable too) chown -R libvirt-qemu:kvm /var/lib/libvirt/images chmod -R g+rwx /var/lib/libvirt/images Booting the live debian iso everything works in virt-manager, but again, after clicking "run", a copy of the vm image is created in /run/live/overlay/rw/var/lib/libvirt/images and only then does the VM start. Either it's still being chowned or chmodded somehow, or it's something else, but I can't stop this copy being made. Interestingly, when I boot the Live debian iso and then copy the images into /var/lib/libvirt/images from my USB stick, the VM starts immediately without creating any copies in the /run/live.... directory. So my guess is that maybe the squashfs could be the issue? Editing the XML <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/vm1.qcow2'> <seclabel relabel='no'/> </source> This results in an error: Unsupported Configuration: Security driver model 'null' not available Here I tried setting security_driver=none in qemu.conf but same error after. </devices> <seclabel type='none'/> </domain> This also returns an Error but I'm still googling to understand it properly. XML document failed to validate against schema Unable to validate doc against /usr/share/libvirt/schemas/domain.rng Invalid element relabel for element seclabel Extra element seclabel in interleave Element domain failed to validate content Thanks again so much for your helo, I've been messing with this for weeks now and it's killing me.
