Don't know the start versie) - did some testing with copying large files into the engine gluster volume through /rhev/datacenter using 'cp' and no problems - used qemu-img convert with the engine gluster volume as destination --> problems - had a good look through lots of logfiles and stumbled across an error about missing shard which aligned with qemu-img errors - turned features.shard off on the volume and restarted the volume - reran the tests with qemu-img --> no problems any more. - reinstalled Centos8.2 + oVirt-4.0, turned off sharding before starting the engine install --> no problems installing, no problems importing, no problems starting vms, sofar
I need to install another server tomorrow, so I'll do that with sharding enabled and see if it crashes too and then get the logs some place safe.
