Snapshot: I want to build and use a 240 GB C7.9 VM from my F33 laptop using NFS storage from a C8.3 server
Reality: You can't get there from here. At every step there's a permissions blockage, and none is a simple rwx problem.
Do I understand you correctly when I say you want your C(entos) 7 VM's disk storage to reside on
your C(entos) NFS server?
If so, that is pretty much what I do.
My F33 desktop had several VM's defined. While I don't use that much storage the F33 system has,
for example.
[root@meimei images]# pwd
/var/lib/libvirt/images
[root@meimei images]# ll f33k.qcow2
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 27 Aug 29 16:35 f33k.qcow2 -> /aux/qemu-images/f33k.qcow2
[root@meimei images]# df -T | grep aux
nas:/volume1/aux nfs4 5621463168 1946477440 3674985728 35% /aux
The system "nas" is a Synology NFS server.
Oh, and FWIW, I also use qemu-img to create a qcow2 file directly on /aux/qemu-images and
point to that file when creating the VM.
The advantage to that is one can thin-provision the qcow2 file to "save" space.
