I just ran into this as well, and it seems that you have to either reformat previously used gluster bricks or manually tweak some extended attributes. <br><br>Maybe this helps you in setting up your gluster volume, Dominic?<br>

    <div>Hi Dominic,<br>
      <br>
      Looking at the engine log immediately after trying to create the
      volume should tell us on which node the gluster volume creation
      was attempted. Then looking at the vdsm log on that node should
      help us identifying the exact reason for failure.<br>
      <br>
      In case this doesn&#39;t help you, can you please simulate the issue
      again and send back all the 5 log files? (engine.log from engine
      server and vdsm.log from the 4 nodes)<br>
      <br>
      Regards,<br>

      <div>I went and looked at the vdsm logs on the nodes and the ovirt
        server which did not say much.  Where else should I look?  Also
        this error is vague what does it mean?</div>
