[Gluster-devel] Glusterfs 3.7.11 with LibGFApi in Qemu on Ubuntu Xenial does not work

[Poornima Gurusiddaiah]

Hi, 

Because of the bugs: 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1350880 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1352482 

3.7.11 is not a good version to be on for Qemu use case, please update to 3.7.13, which has fix for both the bugs. 

W.R.T your original permission denied issue, please check the firewall settings, and also check if its not selinux issue. 

Regards, 
Poornima
