I have 4 nodes.

I hit some split brain activity yesterday. 2 nodes in the cluster are synced and fine. The other 2 are semi syncing still, I just delnoded one from the other.

Whatever ok the cluster wasn't really providing any benefit as we never used the HA features or any of that. So my main concern is getting the VMs to a backup server then rebuilding standalones and redeploying my backups.

the GUIs are barely functioning... ssh is slow but works.

THis cmd:

vzdump 109 --mode stop --storage LAB-0469-ProxmoxBackupServer --compress zstd

ERROR: Backup of VM 109 failed - unable to open file '/etc/pve/nodes/proxmox-01/qemu-server/109.conf.tmp.4761' - Device or resource busy

What device isn't ready that needs to be? I'd love to make this work.
