This morning a node was down.
Luckily I had a KVM card in it so I rebooted it.
The messages says:

etc....(these lines go on forever)

From google I gather its probably a problem with the filesystem?
Although I had a problem with slow performance this is the first real problem I have with it. Could this be the raid card or also something more software related? Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Maybe that error is from a snapshot device with space overflow. I would suggest to stop macking backups using lvm snapshots until you find out why your disk are that slow.
 
Okay thanks.
I adjusted yesterday the vzdump size: to 2048 from 3072 as an experiment. I tried to set it first at 4096 but the system refused that.
 
I have seen this before with a Raid array no Proxmox related. The partition table got corrupted on reboot and shrink the partition. The cause was using an older version of parted that had a bug with debian, when creating the large GPT partition I was using. I updated to latest and greatest parted and remade the partition table without reformating and all better. Not sure if this will resolve your issue but I figured I would mention it.
