Hello, I try to deploy hosted-engine to a NFS Share accessible by (currently) two hosts. The host is running latest ovirt-node-ng 4.2.7. hosted-engine --deploy fails constantly in late stage when trying to run engine from NFS. It already ran as "HostedEngineLocal" and I think is then migrated to NFS storage. Engine seems to be deployed to NFS already: [root@epycdphv02 ~]# ls -al /rhev/data-center/mnt/storage01.office.databay.de:_ovirt_engine total 23 drwxrwxrwx 3 vdsm kvm    4 Dec  3 13:01 . drwxr-xr-x 3 vdsm kvm 4096 Dec  1 17:11 .. drwxr-xr-x 6 vdsm kvm    6 Dec  3 13:09 1dacf1ea-0934-4840-bed4-e9d023572f59 -rwxr-xr-x 1 vdsm kvm    0 Dec  3 13:42 __DIRECT_IO_TEST__ NFS Mount: storage01.office.databay.de:/ovirt/engine on /rhev/data-center/mnt/storage01.office.databay.de:_ovirt_engine type nfs4 (rw,relatime,vers=4.1,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,soft,nosharecache,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=6,sec=sys,clientaddr=192.168.1.121,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.1.3) Libvirt quemu states an error: Could not open '/var/run/vdsm/storage/1dacf1ea-0934-4840-bed4-e9d023572f59/2b1332f6-3bb6-495b-87fe-c5b85e0ac495/39d45b33-5f29-430b-8b58-14a8ea20fb08': Permission denied Even permissions of mentioned file seem to be ok.
