All files in /var/lib/qubes/appvms/fedora-23-dvm are owned by my user,
group qubes - but volatile.img is -rw-r--r-- while all other files are
-rw-rw-r-- (so, group can't write to it). I changed this with chmod 664
volatile.img but on running qvm-create-default-vm the permissions are reset
to their earlier state - and volatile.img is not group-writeable.

Should people on R3.1 just chmod 664 volatile.img right after recreating
the DVM?

Thanks
