Hi guys, I posted this question at virt list on Fedora Project but I guess its a best place to ask help for my problem.

I'm trying to set up two kvm/libvirt hosts, I installed the set of packages contained in @kvm and @clustering groups, downloaded and installed glusterfs version 3.1.2, configured the cluster ( all working ), configured the gluster volume and mounted it on /var/lib/libvirt/images.

The problem is when I try to create the VM, after click in finish(virt-manager) it returns the following error:

the image disk was created, but the domain(vm) is not. does someone experienced with this error? If I umount the gluster partition and use local disk the vm creation works fine.

Any suggestion will be appreciated.
