[ovirt-devel] Changed state to Down: Failed to open file (oVirt 3.5 + Gluster)

[Christopher Pereira]

Ok. I found out this are symbolic links to the gluster mounts.
After creating the missing symbolic link manually, the VM started as 
expected.

So there is some bug somwhere causing the symbolic link to be deleted / 
not re-created.

I will try to reproduce.
