Virtual Machine Manager: Error attempting to add pool via samba share

[TraceyC77]

Summary

I am unable to add a cifs / samba storage pool to Virtual Machine Manager, an error appears

Steps to reproduce

1. Click Create New VM
2. Click Browse next to the storage path input
3. Click + to create a new storage pool, choose Type netfs Network Exported Directory
4. Enter a target path (I chose /home/tracey/libvirt_images)
5. Format auto (the only choice), Host Name htpc, source path isos

Expected result

I am able to create the pool based on the samba share folder

Actual result

An error appears

Error creating pool: Could not start storage pool: internal error: Child process (/usr/bin/mount -o nodev,nosuid,noexec htpc:isos /home/tracey/libvirt_images) unexpected exit status 32: mount: /home/tracey/libvirt_images: bad option; for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might need a /sbin/mount. helper program. dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.

dmesg does not have any information about this. I have other pools that were successfully created based on filesystem directories.

Other comments

According to https://libvirt.org/storage.html under "Network filesystem pool", cifs is a valid filesystem type. cifs-utils is installed, system is up to date

I verified I can browse the share with the guest user with

smbclient //htpc/isos -U guest 

I noticed in the error that it is using "htpc:isos" rather than "//htpc/isos", which is what I'd expect for mounting a samba share
