I scripted the creation of snapshots and it works fine. Now I'd like to run the script as non-root. virsh snapshot-create-as --domain hq-live-v01 \ --name snappy \ --diskspec vda,file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/hq-live-v01.snappy,snapshot=external \ --diskspec vdb,file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/hq-live-storage.snappy,snapshot=external \ --disk-only --quiesce --atomic This fragment creates the snapshots, but get created with mode 0600: -rw------- 1 qemu qemu 393216 Mar 19 17:08 hq-live-storage.snappy -rw------- 1 qemu qemu 1048576 Mar 19 17:08 hq-live-v01.snappy The user account is in the libvirt group and has permissions to do everything except delete the files created by the snapshot, all I need is to get the snapshots created with 0660 mode. This is on a Centos 7.6 installation. What knobs do I need to turn to control the umask?
