@proxmeup You mention a lot of issues, one of which I hit myself too yesterday.

The hung apt and/or hung satellite service start is a known issue discussed [here](https://forums.linbit.com/t/linstor-satellite-upgrade-hangs-in-postinst-on-proxmox-8-2-4/235/2). I used the first option (disable satellite service before/enable after all upgrades).

However, in this RPi case there’s another complication to the same issue. The latest linstor- controller/satellite package version bump was issued yesterday. At the instant when I happened to run an apt update/upgrade yesterday, proxmox repos were updated, but the ubuntu ppa (for the RPi) was not. So there was a version mismatch using the latest from each. I suspect this is what happened to you as well. Check your versions all match across all nodes.

To resolve this, on the PVE nodes I downgraded the packages linstor-common, linstor-controller, linstor-satellite to match the version on the RPi. This got it working again. To prevent this from happening again while doing apt update/upgrade for unrelated reasons, on all three nodes I marked all three of those packages with a “hold” using `sudo apt-mark hold <pkgname>`. When it comes time to upgrade them again, I will need to `sudo apt-mark unhold <package_name>`.

I’m not seeing the other issues you mention, but I wonder how well things work with mismatched versions, so perhaps resolve this and report back what issues you still see.
