I am going to guess that the problem is a UID/GID mismatch.  I am guessing you are using an NFS server just for NFS, its not also the engine server?<br>When you install the ovirt engine there is a user/group created for it.  UID/GID 36:36 I believe.  If this user and group doesn&#39;t match whats on the NFS<br>
server, then you will get permissions errors.  If they match, ovirt won&#39;t have problems using the storage.  You usually use directory services with NFS,<br>like NIS, or directory server, or LDAP, to prevent the issue.  For testing it may just be easier to do it manually.<br>
