Problem downloading volume with gluster as primary storage

Dear all,

We have deployed a new cloudstack platform based on 4.9 version. Our primary storage is based on glusterFS. Everything seemed ok (imported a centos7 template from our old Cloudstack deployment and deployed VMs). 
However we are having trouble downloading templates (this implies migrating qcow images from primary to secondary storage). 

The error we get is: 

Nov  5 00:01:22 c11-2 sh: ERROR [kvm.storage.LibvirtStorageAdaptor] (agentRequest-Handler-5:) (logid:c1f9652d) Failed to convert /mnt/c69fb76e-f2f9-359e-bda0-1259786717af/b51aea8e-d60d-4bff-8e8d-3429a98df2ba to /mnt/38f76a26-3a3b-380f-aa69-38bcef0550a6/0e3a90fb-57b7-4c09-9ef9-5d5c90fb438f.qcow2 the error was: qemu-img: block/raw-posix.c:1353: find_allocation: Assertion `offs >= start' failed.

It seems is due to qemu-img dealing with qcow images from the gluster volume. 

Any hint about this? Anyone has analogue deployment?

Thanking you in advance, 

Kind regards,

Dear all,

It seems... that we have found the issue..

Our setup is  gluster 3.8 + cloudstack 4.9 + centos7 with kernel 
upgraded to 4.8 (we upgraded the kernel as we saw improvements in 
network performance in other scenarios)

It seems the new Linux kernel 4.8 breaks Qemu reading from gluster 
volumes. Back to 3.10 everything seems to be back to normal.

Anyone has deployed over Ubuntu16 + gluster as primary storage? Ubuntu 
16 comes with the newer kernel by default.

Thanx,
