Frederico, Thank you for responding. I checked the qemu.conf file on all of the nodes and it was correct. What's even more strange is that last night I put all of the nodes into maintenance mode and restarted them. No particular reason for this but I was trying anything I could think of. Now the ownership remains correct. I suppose I'll never know what I did wrong, but at least it is working.
I found only 2 other anomalies. One, the live migration did not work because TLS was disabled on the nodes. The "listen_tls = 0" flag was set in /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf. I commented that out and migration works. The second thing I noticed is that the iptables service is not starting. This doesn't hinder functionality, but it's a security issue. I'm still checking into why. I doubt either of these issues caused my ownership problem. I'm sure it's some mistake I made. Hopefully I won't make it again next time. Thank you again, -Jacob ________________________________________ From: Federico Simoncelli [[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2012 3:38 AM To: Jacob Wyatt Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Users] image ownership ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Jacob Wyatt" <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Wednesday, May 9, 2012 8:08:54 PM > Subject: [Users] image ownership > > Greetings all, > > I've set up a new oVirt installation and it's behaving strangely with > regard to virtual machine image files on the NFS storage.
