Steve,

Having just installed gluster on my local hosts and seeing the exact same error in my setup. I am going to assume the following are true:

1. You made a partition just for gluster.

2. You followed oVirt 3.3, Glusterized article from Jason Brooks.

I got the exact same error because for some reason the owner of the directory I put the gluster bricks in keep changing back to root instead of kvm:kvm. Each time I reboot my host, that happens, so I am assuming I didn't set up something correctly. But you can solve it by chowning the directory and everything will work again.

If that doesn't help, well I don't know, I just started using it myself, I just happen to have seen the same error at some point.

Hello,

New Ovirt 3.3 install on Fedora 19.

When I try to add a gluster storage domain I get the following:

UI error:

Error while executing action Add Storage Connection: Permission settings on the specified path do not allow access to the storage.

Verify permission settings on the specified storage path.

Other info:

- I have two nodes, ovirt001, ovirt002 they are both Fedora 19.

- The gluster bricks are replicated and located on the nodes. (ovirt001:rep2-virt, ovirt002:rep2-virt)

- Local directory for the mount, I changed permissions on glusterSD to 777, it was 755, and there is nothing in that directory:

[root@ovirt001 mnt]# pwd

/rhev/data-center/mnt

[root@ovirt001 mnt]# ll

total 4

drwxrwxrwx. 2 vdsm kvm 4096 Sep 19 12:18 glusterSD

I find it odd that the UUID's listed in the vdsm logs are zero's..

Appreciate any help,

Steve
