Hello Yaniv,

We could discuss for hours about the fact that CentOS 7.3 was released 
in January 2017, thus not that old.
And also discuss for hours explaining the gap between developers' will 
to push their freshest releases and the curb we - industry users - put 
on adopting such new versions. In my case, the virtualization 
infrastructure is just one of the +30 domains I have to master everyday, 
and the more stable the better.
In the setup described previously, the qemu qcow2 images were correct, 
then not. We did not change anything. We have to find a workaround and 
we need your expertise.

Not understanding the cause of the corruption threatens us to the same 
situation in oVirt 4.2.
