Hi, we know about this and we already pushed patches that should resolve this issue in 4.1.1 (one was merged today in fact).
We track the issue here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1364132 and the patch that should resolve it is here: https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/71472/ Applying the change manually or waiting for a new snapshot package in http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.1-snapshot/rpm/<distro>/noarch/ might help you in the meantime.
