Hi, Billwear.
Thanks so much for your suggestion.
you might try moving the image to the home directory for the owning user?
It actually is in the owner home dir!
The image I was playing with is chmod 666 (readable and writable by everyone), so there should be no reason (apparently) for root to fail due to a “permission denied” error.
Anyway you pointed me to the right direction. After your post I started reasoning about file ownership. So I tried to run maas-cli as the user owner of the image (not as root) and this time the image start loading. Now I am blocked because of a file-system full, but this is another story.
I learned that:
- maas-cli commands could be run by any user that is able log into MaaS as admin, not just root
- for some reason I cannot tell, it is required to run the “
maas admin boot-resources create ...” command as the user owner of the image file to upload, does not matter what permission had the file
Is it right?

P.S.: in my examples I used “maas admin ...” since admin is the only profile defined in my lab, but probably it should not make difference if working with any other profile
