Rich, do you have links to threads or bug reports where > this is described in more detail? I think there are two problems (which I often confuse) and they are possibly related. This one where libvirt doesn't restore permissions afterwards, and the other one where qemu:///session cannot be used as root which implies that when you run libguestfs as root it doesn't have access to things that root would normally have access to (bug 890291 / 1045069). In answer to your question this is the only one I could find which is definitely related to this bug: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2013-May/msg00115.html Here's another one, but I think this is related to the other bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1241659/comments/6 I suspect there are cases where openstack sets LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct to workaround one of these two bugs. Is fixing the qemu:///session as root problem going to also solve this?
