[Gluster-users] Gluster 3.4 QEMU and Permission Denied Errors

[Andrew Niemantsverdriet]

Right now I am just using virsh to start the machines, I have also
tried using Virtual Machine Manager to start them.

I have enabled Gluster mounting from insecure ports, forgot to mention
that in my first email. It looks like the disk mounts as it starts to
boot but nothing can be written to the disk as it just hangs in an
infinite loop.

Thanks,
