airic499 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) This one has me stumped. I can install a Windows 10 VM no issues. I get it all configured and it runs fine for a month or two until I need to reboot the overall box. When I do that the VM can no longer see the mnt with the .iso and I get this error, " Cannot access storage file '/mnt/virtio-win-0.1.118-2.iso' (as uid:0, gid:100): No such file or directory " The OS install iso is here: /mnt/user/Win10VM/Windows 10.iso so that matches and the mnt pathway appears correct. The vertio iso is in the same mount directory and shows up fine in the disk devices under the VM config. So I don't think it's a location issue, which pretty much leaves a permissions issue, but I don't really see anyway to configure the permissions and really probably wouldn't know what to set them to if I did? Sure I am making a newbie error somewhere, but just not seeing it. Thanks for any help. Edited March 24, 2017 by airic499 Add solved Quote Link to comment

Why you're seeing the error. You've got to change your default storage location for ISO's (VM Settings -> advanced) to somewhere stored on the array (ie: /mnt/user/isos) Quote Link to comment
airic499 Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 Bingo, Thanks Squid! Saw the path for the Win.iso and it was right, so assumed..... switched to advanced and fixed the path and it spins right up. A suggestion somewhere in the instructions of better yet in defaults it should end up selecting that. Putting it someplace that won't auto-mount, then hiding that setting under advanced probably isn't the best default. I'll try and dig around and add it to a couple of threads to "be sure and check..." Quote Link to comment
