libvirt qemu cannot access image inside my home directory, even as root?
I have problem getting my VM running via libvirt. Here is my setup:
I put my qcow2 image and domain XML (named
win7.xml) under$HOME/vm,
with all files and directories using my user, my group, and permission bits0644.I uncommented
user = "root",group = "root"anddynamic_ownership = 1
lines in/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf, expectingqemu-system-x86_64will run
as root, therefore having full access to the dirs and files under$HOME/vm.
However, invocation of virsh create win7.xml as root was failed:
error: Failed to create domain from win7.xml
error: internal error: early end of file from monitor, possible problem: 2016-10-01T03:36:02.049418Z qemu-system-x86_64: -drive file=/home/naitree/vm/win7/win7.qcow2,format=qcow2,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0: Could not open '/home/naitree/vm/win7/win7.qcow2': Permission denied
The following error was logged in /var/log/libvirt/qemu/win7.log:
2016-10-01T03:36:02.049418Z qemu-system-x86_64: -drive file=/home/naitree/vm/win7/win7.qcow2,format=qcow2,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0: Could not open '/home/naitree/vm/win7/win7.qcow2': Permission denied
2016-10-01 03:36:02.080+0000: shutting down
It looks like qemu failed to access my VM disk file. But why? Didn't qemu-system-x86_64
run as root? What should be done to make sure libvirt-qemu able to access the disk image
residing in $HOME directory?
Additional version informations:
- libvirt, virsh version: 1.3.3.2
- QEMU version: QEMU emulator version 2.6.1 (qemu-2.6.1-1.fc24)
- distro: Fedora 24
- kernel: 4.7.4-200.fc24.x86_64
