Hrm, this fixes my simple test case using the kvm monitor directly but changing media via libvirt still has the same issue (fails for RO files, succeeds for writable files). $ virsh attach-disk --type cdrom --mode readonly test1 /srv/kvm/iso/ubuntu-12.04-server-amd64.iso hdc error: Failed to attach disk error: internal error unable to execute QEMU command 'change': Could not open '/srv/kvm/iso/ubuntu-12.04-server-amd64.iso' I'll keep looking into it. Cheers, Kevin.
