Thanks for posting that Andrew. I had the same problem removing disks from a Gluster volume (disk state changed to Illegal and the actual disk file was not removed from the volume) and your method worked fine for me.

There were three steps I did to remove the disk images, I'm sure there's a 100% easier solution..: I found the easiest way (graphically) was go to your https://ovirtengine/api/disks and so a search for the illegal disk. Append the extra ID eg. <disk href="/api/disks/lk342-dfsdf... into your URL this'll give you your image ID. Go to your storage share: cd /data/storage-id/master/vms/storage-id grep -ir 'vmname' * You'll find the image-id reference here too. Then the image you will want to remove is in the /data/storage-id/images/image-id I assume you could safely remove this whole folder if you wanted to delete the disk. To remove the illegal state I did it through the API so again with the URL above https://ovirtengine/disks/disk-id send a DELETE using HTTP/CURL Again, this was a poor mans solution but it worked for me.

I've no idea why it cannot open it, but possibilities include: SELinux, file permissions (eg on /tmp), setting of TMPDIR, relative path to a backing file, and more ... I'd suggest that you 'strace -f' the whole set of processes to see what precise system call fails.
