I see that your disk is in 'raw' format, on glusterFS we currently only 
support snapshots on disks in qcow2/qed format. I know that on glusterFS 
you can create snapshot also on storage level (which would be needed in 
the case of a raw disk), _BUT ONLY_ if the glusterFS bricks are already 
on LVMThin and also then you can 'only' snapshot whole volumes... If you 
really need snapshots you could convert the disk to qcow2. qcow2 is not 
performing that bad and as of today but you have to know that for some 
workloads it maybe noticeable less performing than raw. You have to test 
and see if it suits your needs.

Error looks a bit strange, though, how do other VMs behave?
