vmm and read/write permissions on external storage

[Kitty Weg <kweg@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I am a technical support engineer at Red Hat and need to build local virtual labs to both learn and recreate cases.

I don't have enough space on my laptop for virtual machines, so I connected a Western Digital 4TB external media formatted with ext4 and with 777 read and write permissions, recursive.

When I create storage img, for example; qemu-img create -f qcow2 /name.qcow2 60G and I try to use it as the designated storage when creating the vm with vmm, I get the attached error message. If I choose to correct it as the message suggests, it just gives me another error.

Can anyone assist with this please?

Thanks in advance,

Kitty Weg
