During my experiments, I realized that the qcow2 images for the virtual machines are always put into a directory with the name /var/lib/libvirt-xxx where xxx is a string.

This is problematic in that we are assuming that the user has his storage configured with enough storage available to the /var/lib directory (either through mount on /, /var or /var/lib depending on the user's configuration).

If this is not already the case, the user will need to expand the storage available to /var/lib which may be a mild irritation or a problematic one depending on the users storage configuration.

If the user has not used a storage configuration that is easily expandable, then they will have to risk data on /var/lib to give this additional storage.

It might make more sense to parameterize the location where these images will be stored.
Maybe we can even create a subdir with the xxx expansion and store the qcow2 images there or just use the provided location directory or figure out some other way to parameterize this
