I have a newly installed ovirt engine, and node. I created a new VM, gave it a virtual disk, and a network, attached my one ISO that I have out there, and tried to start it. It failed. The admin portal error messages say: 2012-Feb-27, 15:40:10 Failed to run VM oel-test (User: admin@internal). 2012-Feb-27, 15:40:10 Failed to run VM oel-test on Host oravm2. 2012-Feb-27, 15:40:10 VM oel-test is down. Exit message unable to open disk path /rhev/data-center/f465251e- 5679-11e1-ba81-97917332892e/24b70dff-549e-46a6-a863-3a158aa6e9a3/images/c07482cb-818f-47b7-97d1-1409909408bb/e1e57887-e660-4191-87a0-5eac7a44f2d7: Permission denied. 2012-Feb-27, 15:40:08 VM oel-test was started by admin@internal (Host: oravm2). When I go to the node, and check, the permissions do indeed look bad. vdsm:kvm owns everything down through /rhev/data-center/f465251e-5679-11e1-ba81-97917332892e/24b70dff-549e-46a6-a863-3a158aa6e9a3, but below that, it looks bad. Here is a "ls -l" of that last directory: # ls -l total 8 drwxr-xr-x. 2 4294967294 4294967294 4096 Feb 23 16:22 dom_md drwxr-xr-x. 3 4294967294 4294967294 4096 Feb 27 16:22 images And then the owner and group of everything below 'images' is bad, too. Can some help me determine what happened? And how to fix it?
