Public bug reported: Libvirt should NOT be modifying ownership of my ISO images when mounting them to install a KVM instance. This causes issues later when I use zsync to update the images from the latest bits at cdimages.u.c. More importantly, my files should not arbitrarily be stolen from me when they're used BY ME. Period.
-rw------- 1 bladernr bladernr 813694976 Apr 11 08:14 bionic-live-server-amd64.iso -rw------- 1 libvirt-qemu kvm 754974720 Jul 17 07:09 bionic-server-amd64.iso One of these I used to install a KVM instance. Now when I run my zsync scripts to update the ISOs, zsync cannot update bionic-server-amd64.iso because I no longer own MY OWN FILE. I'm filing this because the other bug I found for this is nearly 10 years old and apparently still not fixed. And I don't agree that the workaround of making libvert use root/root as the user/group is appropriate either. put simply, when I use my own ISO files to deploy my own KVM instances as my own user, my files should NOT be taken away from me and given to a system user account, period. ** Affects: libvirt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1784001 Title: Libvert changes ownership (user/group) of my ISO images To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1784001/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
