    HA with this hardware

    you can use a quorum disk (on the nfs storage) to have 3 votes, so it could work. see http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Two-Node_High_Availability_Cluster but you need also fencing devices, and a good setup. Marco

    grub2 update problems for 3.4 (GUI only), leading to not correctly installed packages
