Package: libvirt-daemon Version: 3.0.0-4 After upgrade from jessie to stretch I was unable to start VMs which are using hugepages. The error message is: qemu-system-x86_64: can't open backing store /dev/hugepages/libvirt/qemu for guest RAM: Permission denied
In jessie were permissions of the directory: drwxr-xr-x libvirt-qemu libvirt-qemu while in stretch they are drwxr-xr-x root root Workaround is to set user = "root" in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf But I kind of liked the VMs were running as non root processes. I guess the directory is created by the libvirtd. Is there any way to change the owner back to libvirt-qemu?
