Regression of forcing 0700 permissions (which breaks guest startup because the qemu user can't see /var/lib/libvirt/*.monitor) was introduced in commit 66823690e, as part of libvirt 0.8.2. * libvirt.spec.in (%files): Drop %{_localstatedir}/lib/libvirt, since libvirt depends on libvirt-client. (%files client): Guarantee 755 permissions on %(_localstatedir}/lib/libvirt, since the qemu user must be able to do pathname resolution to a subdirectory. --- v2 changes: don't declare directory twice (v1 at https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2010-November/msg00238.html) libvirt.spec.in | 3 +-- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/libvirt.spec.in b/libvirt.spec.in index 813e0c0..f77626e 100644 --- a/libvirt.spec.in +++ b/libvirt.spec.in @@ -793,7 +793,6 @@ fi %dir %{_localstatedir}/run/libvirt/ -%dir %{_localstatedir}/lib/libvirt/ %dir %attr(0711, root, root) %{_localstatedir}/lib/libvirt/images/ %dir %attr(0711, root, root) %{_localstatedir}/lib/libvirt/boot/ %dir %attr(0700, root, root) %{_localstatedir}/cache/libvirt/ @@ -883,7 +882,7 @@ fi %{_sysconfdir}/rc.d/init.d/libvirt-guests %config(noreplace) %{_sysconfdir}/sysconfig/libvirt-guests -%dir %attr(0700, root, root) %{_localstatedir}/lib/libvirt +%dir %attr(0755, root, root) %{_localstatedir}/lib/libvirt/ %if %{with_sasl} %config(noreplace) %{_sysconfdir}/sasl2/libvirt.conf -- 1.7.3.2 -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
