This looks like the error message was cut off. Isn't there a full error
message somewhere in the logs, e.g. journalctl?

Anyway, qemu is dying because .. and this is where the message would
help. To help us identify the reason. Maybe
/dev/zvol/virt-pool/vmm/fedora doesn't exist (just a rough guess)?

Have you built the storage pool or just defined it?
