Can't use non-default storage location for libvirt
For some reason I can't seem to get qemu virtmanager to access any directory other than the default storage location.
It can't access hdd images or even cd or floppy images anymore. This started a month or two ago but it wasn't really high priority so I just left it as is.
This is happening on both my laptop and my main PC.
The files are owned by qemu:qemu and it happens regardless of rather or no selinux is on or not.
Set the permission to 777 but still has the same error.
I kinda need access to win11 for a project atm so I would like to be able to use VMs again.
My boot drive is far too small to keep a fat win11 install on.
I guess I can try and mount a ssd to /var/lib/libvirt/images as a workaround, but that just seems silly.

(EDIT) Solution:
sudo chmod 775 for every folder in the path
Solution
qemu also needs to have permissions to execute in var (it should have it already), mnt and games
