My storage.cfg is blank now... on all servers in the cluster. How can i repair my storage cfg? (i dont know how it got erased)
 
find out why - maybe you tried to store to big backups here?
 
I am more concered why i lost all of my Storage info i have been trying to restore the LVM data but still cant get the VM's working. I did make a mistake when i was creating a back up job i used the local directory instead of the NFS share.. also var/log says it has 17g worth of files.. but i dont see any files that are above a few k

Yes, disappearing files normally points to hardware failure on the disk subsystems. I suggest you investigate more, if one file is gone its quite possible that also others are gone also - I would do a deep hardware check and also a re-installation.

do you got a reliable hardware raid controller with BBU (recommended as always) or do you run on a single disk?
 
Harddisks are fine.. i was able to restore the LVM for the ISCSi and NFS shares to get the VMS up and running... but i can not figure out why the pve-root is at 100%.

Here are some screen shoots ... i dunno how the hard disk got full.... I thought i had by accident used local storage for backups but i didnt .. i used the wrong NFS share wich got full .... but i don't know why that would cause this.

Ok the Kern.log is 6.1 gig in size.... is this normal?

Hi,
i would say no.

1. What is the content (more /var/log/kern.log )?
2. It seems that your logrotate don't work ( /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog ) - is this a normal pve-installation?

To get space "mv kern.log kern.log.old; /etc/init.d/rsyslog restart" after that mv kern.log to another partition (or delete if not interesting; but save the last lines like "tail -1000 kern.log.old > kern.log.save")

To find big files ncdu is a nice tool ( "apt-get install ncdu") easy "ncdu " and select one filesystem (X) and use /.
