Hello,
having deployed oVirt 4.3.9 single host HCI with Gluster, I see some times VM going into paused state for the error above and needing to manually run it (sometimes this resumal operation fails).
Actually it only happened with empty disk (thin provisioned) and sudden high I/O during the initial phase of install of the OS; it didn't happened then during normal operaton (even with 600MB/s of throughput).
I suspect something related to metadata extension not able to be in pair with the speed of the physical disk growing.... similar to what happens for block based storage domains where the LVM layer has to extend the logical volume representing the virtual disk

My real world reproduction of the error is during install of OCP 4.3.8 master node, when Red Hat Cores OS boots from network and wipes the disk and I think then transfer an image, so doing high immediate I/O.
The VM used as master node has been created with a 120Gb thin provisioned disk (virtio-scsi type) and starts with disk just initialized and empty, going through PXE install.
I get this line inside events for the VM

Mar 27, 2020, 12:35:23 AM VM master01 has been paused due to unknown storage error.

Here logs around the time frame above:

- vdsm.log

Any suggestions?

The disk of the VM is on vmstore storage domain and its gluster volume settings are:

[root@ovirt tmp]# gluster volume info vmstore

What about config above, related to eventual optimizations to be done based on having single host?
And comparing with the virt group of options:

[root@ovirt tmp]# cat /var/lib/glusterd/groups/virt
