Could someone explain why oVirt is even requiring ownership of the iso images by
a specific user and group? Isn't it enough to just require read/write
permissions on the export? The file ownership requirement is causing us
problems because we have an NFSv4 storage appliance that refuses to chown files
to 36:36 because those users are not known to the appliance.
I have a vague, unsubstantiated memory, that this was intentional
decision. Maybe it was intended to differentiate RHEV-available images
from unrelated files on the same nfs export.
However, I consider this behavior ugly, ununixish, and
counter-productive. I wouldn't nack a Vdsm patch that checks readability
only, preferably with a backward-compat mode.
