Hello and Good Day,
I am setting up a home lab using KVM. I have 3 physical driver representing 3 volumes.
My root drive is only 64GB.
I have installed KVM and all of its requirements on the server. However my ISO files are located on /mnt/2TB-HDD
I created a Ubuntu VM with its virtual cd-rom targeting "/mnt/2TB-HDD/ftp_root/ISO/ubuntu-20.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso"
I then monitor the /var/log/syslog file then start the VM.
The syslog file shows.
Whie the virt manager shows the prompt.
![]()
I cannot see any permission issues on the file, can anyone guide me to the correct troubleshooting steps?
