Is the error /usr/bin/chattr: Operation not supported while setting flags on /var/lib/openqa/pool/19/raid , which is logged before, related?

Acceptance criteria¶

• AC1: Tests are no longer ending up incomplete due to QEMU not starting failing to connect to swtpm-sock

Suggestions¶

• If possible, try to reproduce the issue locally
• Search for any existing issues/tickets in progress and check for any possible workaround/solution
• Check what makes these tests special (they are just x86_64 QEMU tests but probably use a specific feature) -> those are tests using the test setting QEMUTPM
