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 -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: requillart(a)gmail.com [mailto:requillart@gmail.com] Namens crequill Verzonden: dinsdag 15 september 2015 19:24 Aan: Dominique Ramaekers CC: libvirt-users(a)redhat.com Onderwerp: Re: [libvirt-users] libvirt 1.19: could not open drive file (permission denied) 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/.
