I have been through a similar type of weird situation and ended up knowing that it was because of NFS mounting.
ENV:STORAGE: Dell EMC VNX 5200 - NFS shares.
a) Given below is the mounting of the storage (NFSv4 SHARE) on the nodes when creating new VMs failed while installation. However existing VMs are running fine. [nfsv4]
# mount
A.B.C.D:/VIRT_CC on /rhev/data-center/mnt/A.B.C.D:_VIRT__CC type nfs4 (rw,relatime,vers=4.1,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,namlen=255,soft,nosharecache,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=6,sec=sys,clientaddr=A.B.C.D,local_lock=none,addr=A.B.C.D)
b) Switched back to NFSv3 and everything came back to normal.
# mount
A.B.C.D:/VIRT_CC on /rhev/data-center/mnt/A.B.C.D:_VIRT__CC type nfs (rw,relatime,vers=3,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,namlen=255,soft,nolock,nosharecache,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=6,sec=sys,mountaddr=A.B.C.D,mountvers=3,mountport=1234,mountproto=udp,local_lock=all,addr=A.B.C.D)
Conclusion: Checked logs everywhere (Nodes and Storage.) but didnt find anything which can lead to the error.
WORKAROUND:NFS Storage domain was configured with "AUTO" negotiated option.
1) I put the storage domain in maintainance mode.2) Changed it to NFS v3 and remove it from the maintanance mode.
and Boom everything came back to normal.
You can check if that workaround will work for you.

ECC RAM everywhere: hosts and storage.
I even run Memtest86 on both hypervisor hosts just be sure. No errors. I haven’t had the opportunity to run it on the storage yet.
After I’ve sent that message yesterday, the engine VM crashed again, filesystem went offline. There was some discards (again) on the switch, probably due to the “boot storm” of other VM’s. But this time a simple reboot fixed the filesystem and the hosted engine VM was back.
Since it was an extremely small amount of time, I’ve checked everything again, and only the discards issues came up, there are ~90k discards on Po2 (which is the LACP interface of the hypervisor). Since the fact, I enabled hardware flow control on the ports of the switch, but discards are still happening:
Port Align-Err FCS-Err Xmit-Err Rcv-Err UnderSize OutDiscards
Po1 0 0 0 0 0 0
Po2 0 0 0 0 0 3650

I think this may be related… but it’s just a guess.

Hi Strahil.
I’m not using barrier options on mount. It’s the default settings from CentOS install.
I have some additional findings, there’s a big number of discarded packages on the switch on the hypervisor interfaces.
Discards are OK as far as I know, I hope TCP handles this and do the proper retransmissions, but I ask if this may be related or not. Our storage is over NFS. My general expertise is with iSCSI and I’ve never seen this kind of issue with iSCSI, not that I’m aware of.
In other clusters, I’ve seen a high number of discards with iSCSI on XenServer 7.2 but there’s no corruption on the VMs there...
Thanks,

Hi Strahil,
I moved a running VM to other host, rebooted and no corruption was found. If there's any corruption it may be silent corruption... I've cases where the VM was new, just installed, run dnf -y update to get the updated packages, rebooted, and boom XFS corruption. So perhaps the motion process isn't the one to blame.
But, in fact, I remember when moving a VM that it went down during the process and when I rebooted it was corrupted. But this may not seems related. It perhaps was already in a inconsistent state.
Anyway, here's the mount options:
Host1:
192.168.10.14:/mnt/pool0/ovirt/vm on
/rhev/data-center/mnt/192.168.10.14:_mnt_pool0_ovirt_vm type nfs4
(rw,relatime,vers=4.1,rsize=131072,wsize=131072,namlen=255,soft,noshar
ecache,proto=tcp,timeo=100,retrans=3,sec=sys,clientaddr=192.168.10.1,l
ocal_lock=none,addr=192.168.10.14)
Host2:
192.168.10.14:/mnt/pool0/ovirt/vm on
/rhev/data-center/mnt/192.168.10.14:_mnt_pool0_ovirt_vm type nfs4
(rw,relatime,vers=4.1,rsize=131072,wsize=131072,namlen=255,soft,noshar
ecache,proto=tcp,timeo=100,retrans=3,sec=sys,clientaddr=192.168.10.1,l
ocal_lock=none,addr=192.168.10.14)
The options are the default ones. I haven't changed anything when configuring this cluster.
Thanks.

Hello,
I’m trying to discover why an oVirt 4.4.3 Cluster with two hosts and NFS shared storage on TrueNAS 12.0 is constantly getting XFS corruption inside the VMs.
For random reasons VM’s gets corrupted, sometimes halting it or just being silent corrupted and after a reboot the system is unable to boot due to “corruption of in-memory data detected”. Sometimes the corrupted data are “all zeroes”, sometimes there’s data there. In extreme cases the XFS superblock 0 get’s corrupted and the system cannot even detect a XFS partition anymore since the magic XFS key is corrupted on the first blocks of the virtual disk.
This is happening for a month now. We had to rollback some backups, and I don’t trust anymore on the state of the VMs.
Using xfs_db I can see that some VM’s have corrupted superblocks but the VM is up. One in specific, was with sb0 corrupted, so I knew when a reboot kicks in the machine will be gone, and that’s exactly what happened.
Another day I was just installing a new CentOS 8 VM for random reasons, and after running dnf -y update and a reboot the VM was corrupted needing XFS repair. That was an extreme case.
So, I’ve looked on the TrueNAS logs, and there’s apparently nothing wrong on the system. No errors logged on dmesg, nothing on /var/log/messages and no errors on the “zpools”, not even after scrub operations. On the switch, a Catalyst 2960X, we’ve been monitoring it and all it’s interfaces. There are no “up and down” and zero errors on all interfaces (we have a 4x Port LACP on the TrueNAS side and 2x Port LACP on each hosts), everything seems to be fine. The only metric that I was unable to get is “dropped packages”, but I’m don’t know if this can be an issue or not.
Finally, on oVirt, I can’t find anything either. I looked on /var/log/messages and /var/log/sanlock.log but there’s nothing that I found suspicious.
Is there’s anyone out there experiencing this? Our VM’s are mainly CentOS 7/8 with XFS, there’s 3 Windows VM’s that does not seems to be affected, everything else is affected.
Thanks all.
