Okay thank you very much for pointing that out. I now realise the
difference between the regular and export shares.


I just changed the metadata file (at
/raid/ovirt-old/data/1979444d-b79a-494c-8c1a-bcc132e31a04/dom_md0) from:

[root at leiden dom_md]# cat metadata.backup

(there's another storage doman which has to be converted too but
that's not that relevant imo).

Now I log in onto the webinterface, select storage domain -> import
domain :

Domain function set to export/NFS
export path:
192.168.1.44:/raid/ovirt-old/data/

(192.168.1.44 is the server's IP)


Now this error pops up:

Error while executing action: Cannot add Storage. Storage format V3 is
not supported on the selected host version.

I just had a look for this one and found this bug (in which you
replied... such a small world :)  ) :
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1059604
But there's no obvious solution over there.

Despite this the domains are available in the storage domain list but
they're unattached so no use to me.

Am I still missing something?

Cheers,
