Hi, I asked this question in another thread but it seems to have been lost in the noise so I'm reposting with a more descriptive subject. I'm trying to start a Windows VM and use the virtio-win VFD floppy to get the drivers but the VM startup fails due to a permissions issue detailed below. The permissions look fine to me so why can't the VFD be read? Shareef. I found a permissions issue in the engine.log: 2020-03-25 21:28:41,662Z ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.dal.dbbroker.auditloghandling.AuditLogDirector] (ForkJoinPool-1-worker-14) [] EVENT_ID: VM_DOWN_ERROR(119), VM win-2019 is down with error.
