Description Andrew McNabb 2010-01-20 06:21:34 UTC
I changed /etc/libvirt/storage/default.xml to point to a different path (/big/virt) instead of the preset value (/var/lib/libvirt/images).  I then restarted libvirtd to make sure that the changes take effect.  Running "virsh pool-info default" gives information about the correct filesystem (at /big/virt):
Name:           default
UUID:           ddcce330-45a0-592b-23c7-1f94e76a4a85
State:          running
Capacity:       1.36 TB
Allocation:     1.09 TB
Available:      276.13 GB

However, when I try to create a new virtual machine in virt-manager, it insists on creating it with the path /var/lib/libvirt/images/windows.img instead of /big/virt/windows.img and sets the maximum partition size at 12.2 Gb.  If I go to "Select managed or other existing storage" and click on "New Volume", then virt-manager completely hangs.
