I already described the problems several times here .

This is a five node cluster, motherboards dual opteron from Supermicro .

Storage uses the same motherboard as the five nodes, but with a 16 3,5 HD
slots, with 12 occupied by WD enterprise disks .

Storage runs Nas4Free .  ( already try Freenas, same result )

Like I said, when I installed PVE 1.9 everything works fine for, now 9
days, and counting .

In the five nodes, are embedded 2 network ports, connected to Linksys
switcher, I am using it to serve the VMs .

In one PCIe Slot there are an Intel 10 GB card, to talk with a Supermicro
10 GB switcher, exclusive to communication between the five nodes and the
Storage .

This switcher have no link with anything else .

In the Storage, I use one of the embedded ports to manage, and all images
are served through 10 GB card .

After sometime, between 1 and 3 days the system is working, the nodes stops
to talk with the storage .

When it happens, the log shows lots of msg like this :

Mar  6 17:15:29 nodo-01 pvestatd[2804]: WARNING: storage 'iudice01' is
not online
Mar  6 17:15:39 nodo-01 pvestatd[2804]: WARNING: storage 'iudice01' is
not online
Mar  6 17:15:49 nodo-01 pvestatd[2804]: WARNING: storage 'iudice01' is
not online
Mar  6 17:15:59 nodo-01 pvestatd[2804]: WARNING: storage 'iudice01' is

Mar  6 17:16:09 nodo-01 pvestatd[2804]: WARNING: storage 'iudice01' is
not online
Mar  6 17:16:19 nodo-01 pvestatd[2804]: WARNING: storage 'iudice01' is
not online
Mar  6 17:16:29 nodo-01 pvestatd[2804]: WARNING: storage 'iudice01' is
not online
Mar  6 17:16:39 nodo-01 pvestatd[2804]: WARNING: storage 'iudice01' is
not online
Mar  6 17:16:49 nodo-01 pvestatd[2804]: WARNING: storage 'iudice01' is
not online
Mar  6 17:16:59 nodo-01 pvestatd[2804]: WARNING: storage 'iudice01' is
not online



After that, if I try to restart the pve daemon, it refuses to .

If I try to reboot the server, it stops when the PVE daemon should stops,
and stays there forever .

The only way to reboot any of the nodes is a hard reset !

At first, I my suspects goes to Storage, changed from Freenas to Nas4Free,
sane thing, desperation !

Then, for tests, I installed PVE 1.9 In all five nodes ( I have 2 systems
running it for 3 years, so issue, this new system are to replace both )

Like I said, 9 days and counting !!!

So, there is no problem in the hardware, and there is no problem with
Nas4Free !

What left ?!?
