I created a snapshot of a virtual machine. The VM runs fine. But when I went to run the snapshot, I got the following error:Error starting domain: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 2026-03-24T19:09:42.247626Z qemu-system-x86_64: -blockdev {"driver":"file","filename":"/crc/isos/debian/weekly/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso","node-name":"libvirt-3-storage","read-only":true}: Could not open '/crc/isos/debian/weekly/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso': Permission denied I had previously gotten an error on the permissions of a storage file (?) in the same directory, debian-testing-amd64-netinst.1774376356. It had been 0600; I changed it to 0644 and that at least lead to the current error. Directory permissions are drwxrwxr-x or drwxr-xr-x all the way up and all are owned by root:root.
Virsh uses the "libvirt-qemu" ownership, you need to give read and write access to where Libvirt should have access to.
I would assume that this is the same for Virt-manager. To test you could try to set the path to "0777" or use "/var/lib/libvirt". This is the path where images should be located and the "disks". -- John Doe
