Hi,
I have strange problem when two nodes sometimes i see error below, and /etc/pve is blocked due to problem in comunication
corosync [TOTEM ] Retransmit List: 3b8 3b9 3ba 3bb 3bc 3bd 3be 3bf

Also after 6 hours i saw that arping is acting strange.
Tell me is it normal or i have something wrong in my network settings ?

In my network i have 2 mikrotiks bonded together, anso in node1 there is bond connected to boths switches, and second node also bond connected via rj45 to those two mikrotiks.
Meaby i have some kind of loop here ? and thats why i have Totem Retransmission problem ?

Tell me is it normal or not ?:)

i think that i fixed the problem :)


both bond0 and bond1 was connected to the same switch (the same vlan)
When arpinging , host answered from both bond0 and bond1 with different mac addresses so that it could be a problem in connection sometinmes.

I disabled this feature in linux and now i will test if it helped.

sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_filter=1
