Hi,

I'm not saying it is the case, but it could've happened:

If you installed from git and your pool resides in ~/.libvirt, then it
is possible, that thisthis was moved to ~/.config/libvirt and storage
driver failed to start. If you are building with modules enabled, then
the module didn't get to load (and unfortunately didn't show any
message, this should be a bug) and you have no storageDriver available,
that's why you see this message. This is what happened to me. The
solution is to virsh pool-edit the pool after you configured and
installed with --without-driver-modules.
