After a long time it was pretty clear to me that the bastion node could probably also serve as an agent node to provide expanded capacity. So I added it to the cluster as well.
Because the cluster is small i’ll occasionally log into the bastion node and do some basic maintainence (package upgrades etc.). Be careful with kernel upgrades, they pretty regularly cause issues with longhorn for some reasons.
Run uname -a before you do anything and jot down the current functioning kernel version.
In the event something goes wrong post restart :
dpkg –list|grep linux-image get the new image namedpkg –list|grep linux-headers get the new headers name sudo apt-get purge <image_name> -y && sudo apt-get purge <header_name> -y && sudo reboot now
