[Gluster-users] Unable to start a KVM guest of glusterfs

[Anh Nguyen]

Hi,

Hoping I am using the right mailing list for this request for help.

I created a glusterfs, and sucessfully copied a kvm disk image to it, 
but when I tried to start the guest, I received these error messages.
I'd appreciate any insights into what happens, and suggestions to fixes 
or workarounds.
The same image started fine when it resides in a local fs.
Thanks in advance.
