Public bug reported:
When using the following virt-install command, the installation fails
with a "Permission denied" trying to access the ubuntu-10.10-server-
amd64.iso file stored on an external USB drive :
/usr/bin/virt-install --connect qemu:///system \
--name MaverickS \
--ram 1024 \
--disk
path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/MaverickS.img,size=8 \
--disk
path=/media/Maxtor/ISO/ubuntu-10.10-server-amd64.iso,device=cdrom \
--os-type linux \
--os-variant ubuntumaverick \
--accelerate \
--network network=default \
--arch x86_64 \
--vcpus 2 \
--vnc \
--debug
The mountpoint /media/Maxtor is a USB drive which is mounted
automatically when powered on.
When mounting the drive manually, the creation of the VM succeeds :
$ mount | grep Maxtor
/dev/sdb1 on /media/Maxtor type fuseblk
(rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096,default_permissions)
$ sudo umount /media/Maxtor
$ sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
$ mount | grep sdb
/dev/sdb1 on /mnt type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096)
The virt-install has been run both time in debug mode and log files are
attached for both sessions.
