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

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 ->
/home/crequill/VM

If we cannot use anymore another partitions, for me it's a bug.  Not for
you?
For information, I get this error with gnome boxes. With it, images
are in /home/crequill/.local/share/gnome-boxes/images/. How run it?

@requillart
Don't get me wrong. It's no problem to use other partitions. Only, you
have to add the location to the storage pool of libvirt...
Sorry, no experience with gnome-boxes.

@crequill
Add a new storage pool with the destination /home/crequill/VM
You can't fool apparmour with a link...
Also with adding the storage pool, it's easier to get a clear picture of the
usage of your storage resources in virt-manager
