Description Adam Williamson 2015-09-25 22:01:04 UTC 
[root@adam libvirt]# grep dynamic /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf
# Whether libvirt should dynamically change file ownership
dynamic_ownership = 0

yet, with libvirt 1.2.18.1, when I start a VM, it tries to change ownership of the ISO file attached to it (and fails, as it's on a network share). This prevents me running any VMs, in my setup.

Downgraded to 1.2.18, it works fine.

I kinda suspect this change:

https://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commitdiff;h=f4c60dfbf2ec606a5fc148b4c6ff1cd17ffd79ec

which adds a virSecurityDACSetOwnership call which is not protected by a block like this:

    if (!priv->dynamicOwnership)
        return 0;

which several of the others are. But not *all* of them are, and I'm not 100% sure exactly what that virSecurityDACDomainSetDirLabel() is for or what it operates on, so IMBW.

Thanks for the report... you were in the right ballpark but the breakage is a bit more subtle. Patch posted upstream:
