In vdsm log we see:
StorageDomainMetadataCreationError: Error creating a storage domain's
metadata: ("create meta file 'outbox' failed: [Errno 5] Input/output
error",)
Which does not mean much.

Hi Joop,
Thanks for your response, and sorry for the long delay in mine. I had a
chance to test adding again and catch the logs around that operation. I
am attaching the engine logs and vdsm logs of the hypervisor that was
responsible for the storage operations.
Also, I have the following:
[gluster]
allowed_replica_counts = 1,2,3
in /etc/vdsm/vdsm.conf.
The volume was successfully mounted and I see the following in it after
trying to add:
arik@t2-virt01:~$ sudo mount -t glusterfs t2-gluster01b:arbtest /mnt/
arik@t2-virt01:~$ ls -ltr /mnt/
total 0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 vdsm kvm 0 Jan 20 08:08 __DIRECT_IO_TEST__
drwxr-xr-x 3 vdsm kvm 54 Jan 20 08:08 3d31af0b-18ad-45c4-90f1-18e2f804f34b
I hope you can see something interesting in these logs!
You may find more info in gluster mount log, which should be at:
/var/log/glusterfs/<server>:<volname><date>.log
We (ovirt storage developers) did not try arbiter volumes yet, so this
is basically
unsupported :-)
The recommended setup is replica 3. Can you try to create a small
replica 3 volume,
just to check that replica 3 works for you?
