Hi,
Deploying oVirt 4.4.1.1 via Cockpit --> Hosted Engine --> Hyperconverged fails at
Gluster deployment:

Deployment is on 3 count Dell PowerEdge R740xd with 5 count 1.6TB NVMe drives per host.
Deployment is only to three as JBOD, 1 drive per node per volume (engine, data, vmstore)
utilizing VDO.
Thus, deploying even a 100G volume to 1.6TB drive fails with "insufficient free
space" error.
I suspect this might have to do with the Ansible playbook deploying Gluster mishandling
the logical volume creation due to the rounding error as described here:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/6/...
If I can provide any additional information, logs, etc. please ask. Also, if anyone has
experience/suggestions with Gluster config for hyperconverged setup on NVMe drives I would
greatly appreciate any pearls of wisdom.
Thank you so very much for any assistance!
