Re: [libvirt-users] libvirt 1.19: could not open drive file (permission denied)
@requillart
Don't get me wrong. It's no problem to use other partitions. Only, you have to add
the location to the storage pool of libvirt...
Sorry, no experience with gnome-boxes.
@crequill
Add a new storage pool with the destination /home/crequill/VM
You can't fool apparmour with a link...
Also with adding the storage pool, it's easier to get a clear picture of the usage of
your storage resources in virt-manager

If we cannot use anymore another partitions, for me it's a bug. Not for you?
For information, I get this error with gnome boxes. With it, images are in
/home/crequill/.local/share/gnome-boxes/images/. How run it?

Indeed, I have a link between /var/lib/libvirt/images and my home
directory on an another partition.
# ls -al /var/lib/libvirt/images
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 3 sept. 09:29 /var/lib/libvirt/images ->
/home/crequill/VM
