[ovirt-users] gluster VM disk permissions

[Bill James]

thank you very much for the reply.
My main question now is does it required to use "user = root" in 
qemu.conf for the import script to work?
I know in my earlier testing I got a permissions error when doing import 
until I added the root user line.

I guess I'll take it out and give it a try.
