[Sheepdog] Corrupted VDI repository after Electricity offline

[Wido den Hollander]

Hi Angelo,

>From what i've read Sheepdog isn't really suited yet for a situation
where the whole cluster goes down.

I saw the same issues when i turned off my cluster after a day at work.

Dig a little bit back in the ml, you will find a answer from the
developers.
