Sorry, just catching up on this list.
"historically" .. meaning there is something better than SLIRP
available for non-root users now?
The chown'ing and selinux labeling of any storage attached to a
VM
is a libvirt security feature that's not virt-manager's explicit
doing. It has historically been quite a pain WRT install media as
you've likely discovered. I've had a long standing todo item to
fully investigate the issues that people hit and try and come up
with a solution, whether it's libvirt fixes, virt-manager fixes, or
just better error messages. But I haven't gotten around to it yet.
The central pain point for me is around NFS. Put a disk image on NFS,
and libguestfs breaks (because of labelling). You have to use 'export
LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct' to work around it.
