[ovirt-devel] "Could not find working O_DIRECT alignment. Try cache.direct=off"

[Christopher Pereira]

virDomainCreateXML() is returning "Could not find working O_DIRECT 
alignment. Try cache.direct=off".
This image was working some days ago with a previous version.
Did the image get corrupted or could this be related to a recent change 
in oVirt?
