[ovirt-users] VDSM Won't Start

[Charles Tassell]

Hi Guys,

   Thanks, I found the problem.  I had edited the /etc/vdsm logger 
config files to cut down on all the debug logging and the process failed 
(silently in any system log I could find) due to a parsing error.  
Restored the logger files to defaults and it worked.

For anyone going through the list logs in the future, try running:
sudo -s /bin/bash vdsm
python /usr/share/vdsm/vdsm

to get an error message.
