@requillart Don't get me wrong. It's no problem to use other partitions. Only, you have to add the location to the storage pool of libvirt... Sorry, no experience with gnome-boxes. @crequill Add a new storage pool with the destination /home/crequill/VM You can't fool apparmour with a link... Also with adding the storage pool, it's easier to get a clear picture of the usage of your storage resources in virt-manager -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: requillart@xxxxxxxxx [mailto:requillart@xxxxxxxxx] Namens crequill Verzonden: dinsdag 15 september 2015 19:24 Aan: Dominique Ramaekers CC: libvirt-users@xxxxxxxxxx Onderwerp: Re: libvirt 1.19: could not open drive file (permission denied) If we cannot use anymore another partitions, for me it's a bug.
