As andy noted, try 'dog node md info --all' to make sure your disks are
properly added to sheep

> rebuild if it's running same interface as sheepdog), where enough
> dropped packets result in a partition which causes sheepdog to panic and

> this due to the nature of how IPoIB works. I've noticed also that
> corosync or zookeeper also have little storms when you perform a
> snapshot of a sheepdog vdi, which is another thing that can trigger a
