It's will be solved in the next build but it's not the root cause of your issue but just a consequence.   Am I missing the obvious somewhere regarding permissions? Is there a known solution/workaround to this? Can you please check the permissions and the ownership of the files created at storage domain creation time?   Best, - Michael Helmholtz Zentrum Muenchen Deutsches Forschungszentrum fuer Gesundheit und Umwelt (GmbH) Ingolstaedter Landstr. 1 85764 Neuherberg www.helmholtz-muenchen.de <http://www.helmholtz-muenchen.de> Aufsichtsratsvorsitzende: MinDir'in Baerbel Brumme-Bothe Geschaeftsfuehrer: Prof. Dr. Guenther Wess, Heinrich Bassler, Dr. Alfons Enhsen Registergericht: Amtsgericht Muenchen HRB 6466 USt-IdNr: DE 129521671 _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users(a)ovirt.org <mailto:Users@ovirt.org> http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users <http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users>
