Hi, this might be documented somewhere but I cannot find it. In what way does ovirt rely on vdsm:kvm being 36:36? Or can I just change the uid:gid everywhere and be golden? I need to change the uid:gid of vdsm:kvm to a value >1024. It has something to do with the setup of the diskstore I am supposed to use for this setup. The diskstore is a Synology which has all kinds of strange implications on the setup. Cheers, Stefan

Hey, thanks for the answer. This definitely helped knowing somebody uses a Syno box with ovirt. After fiddling around for some hours I think I have this working now. But especially the nfs and the permission parts are really really fragile. One wrong click and everything goes to hell. And as I have figured out this wont always happen instantaneously. But sometimes only after a reboot. I personally cannot recommend |ynology as a Diskstore for ovirt and don't feel too comfortable with this solution. I personally favour a FreeBSD box with decent zfs support.
