Ok so I now think the problem is that the gluster file systems are being mounted read only

Hi,

  I'm trying to install Ovirt 4.1 beta using glusterfs as the storage domain.

  First time I've tried it so there could be some real simple mistakes in my config :)

# gluster volume info

Volume Name: ovirt
Type: Replicate
Volume ID: 8d9d480c-dfc8-4099-acbc-2eb1a01afc9d
Status: Started
Snapshot Count: 0
Number of Bricks: 1 x 3 = 3
Transport-type: tcp
Bricks:
Brick1: 192.168.0.1:/u01/.bricks/ovirt
Brick2: 192.168.0.2:/u01/.bricks/ovirt
Brick3: 192.168.0.3:/u01/.bricks/ovirt
Options Reconfigured:
transport.address-family: inet
performance.readdir-ahead: on
nfs.disable: on

I wasn't sure what path to put for the gluster storage so I've been trying with localhost

          Please specify the storage you would like to use (glusterfs, iscsi, fc, nfs3, nfs4)[nfs3]: glusterfs
[ INFO  ] Please note that Replica 3 support is required for the shared storage.
          Please specify the full shared storage connection path to use (example: host:/path): localhost:/ovirt

hosted-engine --deploy gets as far as trying to create the storage domain and then fails.
