Yes, I did. The main problem was the underlying filesystem. I do not 
know why, but XFS does not thin provision the space of the hard disk 
when create the virtual machine. Then proxmox times out at 30 seconds, 
or so. Because it should be matter of one or two seconds.

Changing it to ext4 solved the main problem.

Another issue, even with ext4, was the timing when in the gluster 
cluster (2 nodes), there were one node down. There is a bug on gfapi 
that times out the proxmox cluster when trying to start a VM on that 
gluster storage.

While gluster developers fix that bug. I lowered the value on 
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_syn_retries from 5 to 3 to reduce the time 
necessary to start the VM and now everything works,
