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...

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.

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.

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.
