Re: [libvirt-users] [virt-tools-list] error creating NFS storage pool
It looks like it has something to do with windows sharing on my storage appliance.
When I enable CIFS, that hidden folder appears.
The storage pool can't be created because the permissions on the .$EXTEND folder
cannot be changed.
Apparently for the pool to be created virt-manager needs full access to all files and
folders.

I've tried changing permissions on my_nfs_server to 777 with still no luck.

moving to libvirt-users
What is the .$EXTEND file? Is it a socket or something strange like that?
