Ok, if I encounter again similiar problems I will post logs here

Mmmmh this is ringing an alarm bell then. So, it's basically impossible (or
at least not supported) a 4 hosts configuration with all the 4 hosts having
a data domain in a replica 2 fashion? Is it only replica 3 arbiter 1 the
supported HA configuration? So if I want to expand storage (a part from
adding disks to the same machines) I must add machines 3 by 3 ?

Currently I have 4 machines with 4 disks each in a RAID-10 configuration,
exposed as one brick. Which is the best HA solution in this scenario then?

Thanks
