of libvirt, where the QEMU process runs as a dedicated user ID.
Here you're putting the disk in /home/roland, and I'm guessing

that /home/roload is mode -rwx-------, which will prevent the
QEMU user ID from accessing the disk.
When using qemu:///system, it is recommended to use
/var/lib/libvirt/images as the disk storage location.
I have done that now, but still have the same problem.

Changing the user and group makes no difference:
