[Gluster-users] Can't run KVM Virtual Machines on a Gluster volume

[Fernando Frediani (Qube)]

I just built a 2 node(4 bricks), Distributed-Replicated and everything mounts fine.
Each node mounts using GlusterFS client on its hostname (mount -t glusterfs hostname:VOLUME /virtual-machines)
When creating a new Virtual Machine using virt-manager it creates the file on the storage, but when trying to power it On, it doesn't work and gives back an error message.(See below. Yes the folder has full permission to All to write.)

Has anyone actually was able to run it fine  on Gluster 3.3 ? I get the same results on VMware ESXi, but I thought that as for KVM using GlusterFS client that would work fine and better. If I mount the volume as NFS the exact same thing happens.
Quiet frustrating !!!
