That's okay, but how can I see the reason of the issue? I've been
looking for into /var/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log on the engine but I
haven't found anything about it. I failed to remove this disk with the
webadmin or the API. It's very annoying because it is a 100GB disk on a
SAN and ovirt considers that there is no left space enough on the
relevant storage domain to create any more vms...
