I'd prefer to stick on oVirt release version of Gluster if possible


Also check the gluster's op-version, as this limits some of the features.

Ok. I think that the INFO level set on the different layers outlined
problem somehow related to shardin.

Related to this, I found no official docs on Gluster web site after 3.7
version... where is it?
Only information I found was in Red Hat Gluster Storage 3.5 Administration
Guide, but I would expect something more upstream...

In particular in my case where I have only one host and the gluster volumes
are single brick based, do you think I can try to disable sharding and
verify if using new disks with it disabled and oVirt thin provisioned disks
let the problem go away?

Also, I found some information about sharding block size.
Apparently the only supported size on Red Hat Gluster Storage is 512MB, but
oVirt sets it to 64MB....?
I also found a bugzilla about passing from 128MB to 64MB in oVirt 4.1.5:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1469436

Now I see that by default and so also in my environment I have:

features.shard                          on

features.shard-block-size               64MB

features.shard-lru-limit                16384

features.shard-deletion-rate            100

Not clear how to cross-check for all the values above in docs....

Can I safely set
features.shard                          off

In Red Hat Gluster storage admin guide it is considered only for replicated
gluster volumes (and so also ditributed-replicated...)
But in my case with single host and single beick for volumes I think it
doesn't give any particular benefit, isn't it?

I found this interesting post about sharding and connection between image
files and shard files:
