Tom kindly fixed it for me, I’m very grateful. I want to document it properly in case anyone else has the problem, which I’ll do tomorrow, its 23:45 here and after a week of trying to get it to work I need some beauty sleep!!
Thank you all for your help, it’s much appreciated, sleep well.

Hi Wayne,
I have a VMware troubleshooting course to finish off updating, but afterwards I should have some time and more importantly kit free in early May. I could have a go then if that’s ok.

The problem was that the master node check box wasn’t selected. As it was a new storage node, it needed selecting.
Thank you all for your help. It’s much appreciated.

I ran out of disk space on the data disk today, but couldn’t work out why. I then researched it a bit and found that Linux reserves 5% of the disk in case you start to run out, for the system files. Great idea for system disks, but pointless if you have data disks for say images.
This command removes the reservation from the disk, and gives you back the 5%
sudo tune2fs -m 0 /dev/sdb1
I hope this is useful
I fixed it, it was the grapjics card. I swapped it over and now it’s working perfectly.
I spend, not hours, but days on this, eventually I swapped every component with one that worked.
Thanks for all your help, what a weird one!
