Reboot sort of fixed the problem and revealed the probable cause -
hard disk failed.

Never listen to people saying that desktop drives can be used in
server devices ... this is the 2nd WD Black thats failed less than a
year after installation. And the trouble with them is they don't
support TLER,, so when they fail they bring the whole server down.
Pre-emptively replacing them all with WD Reds.

Data is safe though - RAID!) mirror and Gluster Rep 3 :) VM's on the
other nodes didn't even glitch.
