Hey List, I'm trying to test out using Gluster 3.4 for virtual machine disks. My enviroment consists of two Fedora 19 hosts with gluster and qemu/kvm installed. I have a single volume on gluster called vmdata that contains my qcow2 formated image created like this: qemu-img create -f qcow2 gluster://localhost/vmdata/test1.qcow 8G I'm able to boot my created virtual machine but in the logs I see this: [2013-09-16 15:16:04.471205] E [addr.c:152:gf_auth] 0-auth/addr: client is bound to port 46021 which is not privileged [2013-09-16 15:16:04.471277] I [server-handshake.c:567:server_setvolume] 0-vmdata-server: accepted client from gluster1.local-1061-2013/09/16-15:16:04:441166-vmdata-client-1-0 (version: 3.4.0)[2013-09-16 15:16:04.488000] I [server-rpc-fops.c:1572:server_open_cbk] 0-vmdata-server: 18: OPEN /test1.qcow (6b63a78b-7d5c-4195-a172-5bb6ed1e7dac) ==> (Permission denied) I have turned off SELinux to be sure that isn't in the way. When I look at the permissions on the file using ls -l I see the file is set to 600, this doesn't seem right. I tried manually changing the permission to 755 as a test and as soon as the machine booted it was changed back to 600. Any hints as to what is going on and how to get the disk functioning? The machine will boot but as soon as anything is written to disk it will hang forever.
