It'd take more time than I have at the present moment to root out what
changed when for NFS root-squash, but suffice to say there were some
corner cases. Some involving how qemu-img files are generated - I don't
have the details present in my short term memory.

Having/using a root squash via an NFS pool is "easy" (famous last words)
Create some pool XML (taking the example I have)
% cat nfs.xml
<pool type='netfs'>
<name>rootsquash</name>
<source>
<host name='localhost'/>
<dir path='/home/bzs/rootsquash/nfs'/>
<format type='nfs'/>
</source>
<target>
<path>/tmp/netfs-rootsquash-pool</path>
<permissions>
<mode>0755</mode>
<owner>107</owner>
<group>107</group>
</permissions>
</target>
</pool>
In this case 107:107 is qemu:qemu and I used 'localhost' as the
hostname, but that can be a fqdn or ip-addr to the NFS server.
You've already seen my /etc/exports
virsh pool-define nfs.xml
virsh pool-build rootsquash
virsh pool-start rootsquash
virsh vol-list rootsquash
Now instead of
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<source file='/var/lib/one//datastores/0/38/disk.0'/>
<target dev='hda'/>
<driver name='qemu' type='qcow2' cache='none'/>
</disk>
Something like:
<disk type='volume' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='qemu' cache='none'/>
<source pool='rootsquash' volume='disk.0'/>
<target dev='hda'/>
</disk>
The volume name may be off, but it's perhaps close. I forget how to do
the readonly bit for a pool (again, my focus is elsewhere).
Of course you'd have to adjust the nfs.xml above to suit your
environment and see what you see/get. The privileges for the pool and
volumes in the pool become the key to how libvirt decides to "request
access" to the volume. "disk.1" having read access is probably not an
issue since you seem to be using it as a CDROM; however, "disk.0" is
going to be used for read/write - thus would have to be appropriately
configured...

I saw the post, but was heads down somewhere else. Suffice to say trying
to swap in root_squash is a painful exercise...
