Hi I have this problem now too (it worked before upgrading to xenial from trusty). My share is /srv/video on the host and video in my home folder on the host. My ls commands output
host: drwxrwxr-x 7 micah users 4096 Apr 14 20:49 video/ guest: drwxrwxr-x 7 micah users 4096 Apr 14 20:49 video/ host config: <filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'> <source dir='/srv/video'/> <target dir='video'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/> </filesystem> fstab on the guest: video /home/micah/video 9p trans=virtio,rw 0 0 and from the host syslog: Apr 14 20:48:14 mastermold kernel: [14059.033861] audit: type=1400 audit(1460681294.791:23): apparmor="DENIED" operation="chown" profile ="libvirt-a3ede2b7-63d4-bcfb-8342-724f20a8cc48" name="/srv/video/" pid=3060 comm="qemu-system-x86" requested_mask="w" denied_mask="w" fsuid=106 ouid=1000 This error has come up before, but there doesn't appear to be a workaround... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1559317 Title: [xenial] No write access to VirtFS (9p) in qemu VM run by libvirt To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1559317/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
