I do have the controller running on a dedicated Dabian VM ---- Linux 
linstor-ctlr 4.9.0-8-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.144-3.1 (2019-02-19) x86_64
Its storage is mounted from a NFS share on a FreeNAS server available to all 
the nodes in my cluster. The nodes are all connected to a 10G Quanta LB6M 
switch dedicated for DRBD traffic on a separate IP subnet, Proxmox and all 
other network traffic goes through another 10G Quanta switch.

I somewhat get why it deletes the res files, but the weird thing is that it 
will restore some of files and leave others missing after rebooting. I haven't 
seen a pattern of specific resources not being restored, and it's a different 
number of missing res files each time also.
With the last restart only 13 of the 27 resources were restored, even after 
nearly 2 hours. I decided to do another restart and after that it eventually 
restored all of the resources. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I have started maintaining a copy of the "/var/lib/linstor.d/" from each node 
so that I can simply copy them back in manually if the controller fails to do 
it.

Using the "--keep-res" method and matching all resources might do the trick. 
Does this only affect deleting during startup though? The controller can still 
tell a satellite to delete a resource even if the "--keep-res" is used, correct?
I didn't find direct documentation on overriding the service configuration, but 
I will try it in the next few days. I'll also do some node restarts and be more 
intentional in examining any error logs that the linstor satellite and 
controller create.
