Also I noticed you mentioned using a path other than /var/lib/libvirt/images for the pool, be sure the SELinux contexts are correct. Should be virt_image_t, you can set that for a special path like so... $ semanage fcontext -a -t virt_image_t "/virt-img(/.*)?" $ restorecon -R /virt-img - Trey _______________________________________________ libvirt-users mailing list libvirt-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvirt-users
