Ouch; Seems to be an intended libvirt change of behavior due to bug 1077009. It's possible to reverted the following patch, but it would re-introduce noisy commit 657d413d79ef736c425c9bc7112d8a710083ea9b Author: Dan Kenigsberg <danken> Date: Thu Oct 31 21:34:53 2013 +0000 libvirt is happy with redefinition of an existing nwfilter Change-Id: Id253c66df8296613b6a2bc3fc058ef2754702964 Reviewed-on: http://gerrit.ovirt.org/20788

(In reply to Meni Yakove from comment #3) > vdsm-4.16.3-3.el6ev.beta.x86_64 Hi, The "Fixed in Version" field says "v4.16.4" but you verified on 4.16.3-3? is that a downstream build or upstream? I can still observe the problem on 4.16.3-3 downstream build.
oVirt 3.5 has been released and should include the fix for this issue.
