[Bradford] Symlink Permissions

[Nick Rhodes]

Yesterday I was setting up a new Ubuntu Server to host some VMs using
libvirt.
I moved /var/lib/libvirt to a 2nd drive (mounted as /mnt/data) to
/mnt/data/libvirt/
I then created a soft link, checked the permissions (octal 750) and the
ownership.

But when I tried to create a new VM I got a permissions error.
Deleting the soft link  and moving libvirt back again to the root partition
and I can creating a new VM works.

So , what did I do wrong, what is different about sym links that I need to
know ?

Cheers, Nick.
