Title: qemu error: chardev opening backend file failed Status in ANVIL for forging OpenStack.: Fix Released Bug description: Spawning of instances fails with Qemu error "internal error Process exited while reading console log output: chardev: opening backend "file" failed". Looks like permission issue because Devstackpy uses user's home directory and may be during instantiation the qemu/kvm user not able to use any file.
