Hi Matthias,

Basically, ovirt-node-ng is shipped as an image, and imgbased then syncs
some files to the new lv so the user will get a new working image without
breaking his configuration.  It could be that some files were sync'ed
across wrong, can you please attache /tmp/imgbased.log ?  Also, which
version are you using now ?

Thanks,
Yuval.
