I'm working on an integration that uses QCOW2 volumes with backing stores. I have qemu configured to run as the "qemu" user, which seems to be fine. I now need to make sure my volumes are readable by this user. However, it seems the volume being created is owned by root, instead of "qemu" as I'd expect it to be. I tried various things and was unable to get it to create the file as the correct user. I've supplied a link to the XML I'm using to create the volumes. If anyone has any ideas it would be massively helpful.
