Hi Everyone,

I am in process of setting up HA cluster and using DRBD for filesystem 
replication. I have created partition /dev/hda2 of 20 GB, currently 
using just 8GB. It takes approx 30 minutes to sync the entire partiton 
for the first time.

Can I change the disk-size parameter to say 10G (in drbd.conf) so that 
sync time is reduced and later when I need more space, increase it? 
Will there be any problem if I proceed this way?

Thanks in advance.

Anshul
