Symptoms

On Oracle Private Cloud Appliance, all supported releases, and Oracle VM, all 3.X.X releases, when attempting to present a given repository to a particular compute node / OVM Server or to a subset of these, it fails with the following kind of error being recorded in the /var/log/ovs-agent.log of the compute node / Oracle VM Server :

 It is however possible to mount that repository manually using a simple mount command on that compute node, so it cannot be a file system corruption as note 2163873.1 suggests.
