I'm trying to create a small virtual guest for debian using Virtual
Machine Manager. I accept all the defaults, but:
Unable to complete install: 'unsupported configuration: 'directory'
storage format is not directly supported by QEMU, use 'dir' disk type
instead'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 75, in
cb_wrapper
callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs)
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/createvm.py", line 2089, in

domain = self.conn.createXML(install_xml or final_xml, 0)
File "/usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 3915, in
createXML
if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateXML() failed',
conn=self)
libvirt.libvirtError: unsupported configuration: 'directory' storage
format is not directly supported by QEMU, use 'dir' disk type instead
The virt io tab shows storage format as "dir". I can't figure out the
location of the actual xml file that VMM creates. Sigh.
Any help appreciated.
