In the virt-install example, you try to use volume fd1440.img, which doesn't show up in the vol-list output, meaning virt-install thinks that file doesn't exist, hence why it says you need to specify a path What's the output of ls -l /var/lib/libvirt/images If the file is actually there, you might need to refresh the pool with 'virsh pool-refresh default' -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
