Will any action be taken on this one? At least tell me that it's not a bug but a feature. Doses every one besides me think that it is alright for qemu to hijack file ownership? Why it can't just read them, these files are world readable. Reassigning this bug to Fedora 15. In F15 i have to deal with the same issue.

Reassigning to the new owner of this component. This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. qemu:///system, which is what virt-manager uses, runs libvirtd as root, and qemu processes as the qemu owner. Changing storage files to be owned by qemu:qemu prevents non authorized users from touching those files. So this is expected behavior, it's a security mechanism of libvirt. If you want to disable it, set turn off dynamic_ownership in /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf and restart libvirtd. You can try using the libvirt qemu:///session URI which auto launches a libvirtd daemon as a regular user, but the it's not as well tested so you may hit other issues. |
