Eduardo\Federico, any thoughts ? udev configuration maybe? ----- Original Message -----

Greetings all,

I've set up a new oVirt installation and it's behaving strangely with regard to virtual machine image files on the NFS storage. Whenever I shut down a machine it's changing the owner of the image to root:root (0:0) instead of vdsm:kvm (36:36). After that it can't start or do anything with that image again until I manually change the ownership back. Everything works fine again until I shut the machine down. I assume this is some mistake I've made in installation. I did not have this problem in the test environment, but I'm stumped as to what went wrong.

Frederico, Thank you for responding. I checked the qemu.conf file on all of the nodes and it was correct. What's even more strange is that last night I put all of the nodes into maintenance mode and restarted them. No particular reason for this but I was trying anything I could think of. Now the ownership remains correct. I suppose I'll never know what I did wrong, but at least it is working. I found only 2 other anomalies. One, the live migration did not work because TLS was disabled on the nodes. The "listen_tls = 0" flag was set in /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf. I commented that out and migration works. The second thing I noticed is that the iptables service is not starting. This doesn't hinder functionality, but it's a security issue. I'm still checking into why. I doubt either of these issues caused my ownership problem. I'm sure it's some mistake I made. Hopefully I won't make it again next time. Thank you again, -Jacob ________________________________________ From: Federico Simoncelli [fsimonce@redhat.com] Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2012 3:38 AM To: Jacob Wyatt Cc: users@ovirt.org Subject: Re: [Users] image ownership ----- Original Message -----

Hi Jacob, could you check the dynamic_ownership in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf: # grep dynamic_ownership /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf #dynamic_ownership = 1 dynamic_ownership=0 # by vdsm Thanks, -- Federico
