[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#553680: libvirt-bin: ignores storage options when vol-create-as is called

[rman]

Package: libvirt-bin
Version: 0.6.5-3~bpo50+1
Severity: minor

At least as of reported version of libvirt-bin, it is 
possible to specify
desired owner, group and permissions as options of storage 
pool.

# cat /etc/libvirt/storage/default.xml
<pool type='dir'>
   <name>default</name>
   <uuid>447679a8-a43e-fb07-4ddf-c2b437c275cf</uuid>
   <capacity>0</capacity>
   <allocation>0</allocation>
   <available>0</available>
   <source>
   </source>
   <target>
     <path>/srv/kvm/vdisk</path>
     <permissions>
       <mode>0750</mode>
       <owner>1111</owner>
       <group>111</group>
     </permissions>
   </target>
</pool>

Yet, it seems that such options are actually ignored by 
libvirt:

1) While

$ virsh vol-create-as default test.raw 1024M --format raw 
--allocation 0
Vol test.raw created

works as expected (i.e. creates yet another raw image)

2) Actual file permissions are still default

$ ls -la /srv/kvm/vdisk/test.raw
-rw------- 1 root root 1073741824 2009-11-02 00:09 
/srv/kvm/vdisk/test.raw

Desired resolution of this issue would be actually 
implementing creating
libvirt's storage volumes with specified owner, group and 
file permissions.
