libvirt users - Sep 2015 - libvirt 1.19: could not open drive file (permission denied)

Hi,

With libvrit 1.18 all is working fine: I can  open my win7 VM on
Archlinux without problem.
But I cannot use it with libvirt 1.19: it could not open drive file
(permission denied).

In /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf, I have:
     - user: root
     - group: root

And the drive file has root:root as owner.

Why this configuration is running with libvirt 1.18 and not with libvirt 1.19 ?

Many thanks for your reply.
Christophe

A while ago, I had the same problem. It was a apparmor issue. Maybe your image
is on a location outside your storage pools?

Indeed, I have a link between /var/lib/libvirt/images and my home
directory on an another partition.

# ls -al /var/lib/libvirt/images
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17  3 sept. 09:29 /var/lib/libvirt/images ->
