Hii there,

today, all VMs where just running normally, until the weather changed, which caused lightning to strike.
Luckily, all physical machines where undamaged.

However, during the strike, one of the fused blew, which caused all the servers to go off. (not a graceful shutdown)
All physical machines started up like normal, but here comes the issue:

All but 1 VM threw the error `Error: storage 'NAS' is not online`
but whrn I SSH'ed into my primary (just the fastest server here) and ran the command: `ls /mnt/pve/NAS/images` all the images where there, and I could create files on there (`/mnt/pve/NAS/images/herpderp` for example)

Now the part that confuses me is that 1 VM decided to fully bootup and work like it normally would. (sorta, internet is still dead here)

How can I fix this?
I have tried rebooting a few times, but no success.
 
update: After visiting my girlfriend to kill some time, 1 more VM decided to start up.
Nothing changed in the configs, I just let the server do nothing for a whole hour.
 
another update: 2 more VMs got started succesfully.
This confirms that the NFS share should be working just fine.
