Description

##### ISSUE TYPE

* Bug Report

##### COMPONENT NAME

~~~
core
~~~

##### CLOUDSTACK VERSION

~~~
4.19.0.1
~~~

##### CONFIGURATION

##### OS / ENVIRONMENT

KVM hosts (both Ubuntu 22 and OL8 as OS) with NFS v4 primary storage
Using library: libvirt 8.0.0
Using API: QEMU 8.0.0
Running hypervisor: QEMU 6.2.0

##### SUMMARY

Some volumes (only ROOT volumes) remains in Destroy state after the related VM is correctly expunged. Trying to manually delete them results in the following error: "cannot unlock file 'path-to-the-qcow2': Permission denied. Libvirtd run as root on the hosts and I found no permission/ownership issues on the qcow2 disks.

##### STEPS TO REPRODUCE

~~~
I'm not really sure on how to reproduce the issue, seems related only to root disks in our environnement, as data disks give no issues if I try to delete them.
~~~

##### EXPECTED RESULTS

~~~
When the VM is expunged also the root disk is deleted as well
~~~

##### ACTUAL RESULTS

~~~
The root disk remain in the UI in "Destroy" state

Research direction

The issue names no source file, test, or entry point. Begin by tracing core volume cleanup during VM expunging in the reported KVM/NFS environment and investigate why root volumes remain in Destroy state; done means the root volume is removed with the expunged VM without the reported permission error.
