Unable to restart cluster after shutdown

[Fabio Coatti]

I'm experiencing a strance behaviour with cluster.
Setup: two storage nodes, AMD64, one mgm node, i386
version: 4.1.12
problem: if I launch a "shutdown" from mgm node on a perfectly working cluster, I'm unable to restart storage nodes; I can restart them only with --initial parameter and then restoring backup.

If i kill only one storage node, even with -9, I'm able to restart the node without problems.

on mgm node logs I can see this, this goes on and on, and mgm node reports contiunuos reconnection
of storage nodes:

Many thanks for any help.
