I had the same problem a month ago on a openfiler(fedora) system not a debian system.  It was a file permissions error there was one folder that permissions where not applied to correctly. It took me awhile I could not determine if it was an ovirt error.  I use all nfs at the moment and have installed two more nodes for data with no issue.  One of them is a debian system called mediavault.  The folder that had a problem did not have vdsm permissions it was another user I believe.  I had to manually edit as root.<div>
