[Bug 691590] [NEW] libvirt restore exactly the old ownership of images

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Natty (and it was also the same on Maverick, IIRC).

When you assign an ISO to a VM, libvirt will take over onwership of the
ISO. This creates problems if the ISO is updated.

For example, I am daily updating the Natty server ISOs, and running
tests on them via KVM (all automated). The ISO updates will fail because
libvirt chowns them.

I see no reason for this: libvirt only needs the ISO as input.

WORKAROUND:
  edit /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf, change 'dynamic_ownership = 0', restart qemu/KVM.
