Hi,<br><span style="font-size:13px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I have a very strange problem with libvirt. I work on some machines with libvirt (Debian/ Arch Linux) and libvirt set the ownership of images file automatically to the qemu user / group for example on Arch Linux to nobody:</span></span><span style="font-size:13px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">kvm</span></span><span style="font-size:13px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">.<br>So when I copy an image file with root and use I then with qemu, libvirt change the owner/ group to nobody:</span></span><span style="font-size:13px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">kvm</span></span><span style="font-size:13px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">.<br><br>But I also compiled libvirt for a machine (</span></span><span style="font-size:13px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">gcc</span></span><span style="font-size:13px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">&nbsp;4.9.4 </span></span><span style="font-size:13px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">glibc</span></span><span style="font-size:13px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> 2.12) and on &nbsp;this machine libvirt did not </span></span><span style="font-size:13px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">change</span></span><span style="font-size:13px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> the ownership of the image files </span></span><span style="font-size:13px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">which results in this error:<br><br></span></span><div><pre style="font-size: small; word-wrap: break-word; width: 50em;" class="bz_comment_text
