Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/retspen/webvirtmgr/issues/604

I am trying to add a local directory as a storage pool that contains a "-" in the path name.

example:

/nfs/dev_vmfs-nfs

This is a valid path and should be allowed by webvirtmgr.

when adding this location, there is an error "The target must not contain any special characters"

adding the dash to all of the have_symbol = re.match('^[a-zA-Z0-9/_-]+$' lines after the underscore in storages/forms.py fixes the problem.
