For gnome boxes, a pool already exists:
$ virsh pool-list
Name State Autostart
--------------------------------------------------
default active yes
gnome-boxes active no
$ virsh vol-list gnome-boxes
Name Path
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
win7 /home/crequill/.local/share/gnome-boxes/images/win7
$ ls -alh /home/crequill/.local/share/gnome-boxes/images/win7
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 60G 15 sept. 17:11
/home/crequill/.local/share/gnome-boxes/images/win7
With this and libvirt 1.19, I get:
2015-09-15T17:17:19.563181Z qemu-system-x86_64: -drive
file=/home/crequill/.local/share/gnome-boxes/images/win7,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=raw:
Could not open '/home/crequill/.local/share/gnome-boxes/images/win7':
Permission denied
So, why this configuration is running with libvirt 1.18 and not with
libvirt 1.19 ?
