A while ago, I had the same problem. It was a apparmor issue. Maybe your image is on a location outside your storage pools? -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: libvirt-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:libvirt-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] Namens crequill Verzonden: dinsdag 15 september 2015 17:29 Aan: libvirt-users@xxxxxxxxxx Onderwerp: libvirt 1.19: could not open drive file (permission denied) Hi, With libvrit 1.18 all is working fine: I can open my win7 VM on Archlinux without problem. But I cannot use it with libvirt 1.19: it could not open drive file (permission denied). In /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf, I have: - user: root - group: root And the drive file has root:root as owner. Why this configuration is running with libvirt 1.18 and not with libvirt 1.19 ? Many thanks for your reply.
