Greetings, We've had an incident that I am trying to understand. Configuration: Two IBM E-Server x330's running Heartbeat/DRBD (0.6.4). Redhat 7.3 Protocol C Crossover Ethernet (I know that 0.6.4 is old, but we have a rather staggered release cycle and our customers tend to upgrade infrequently.) At some point the secondary machine started reporting SCSI errors (the disk eventually failed). It is not known how long the system was having these errors. The primary machine started to become unresponsive. Here is the odd thing: Any command that accessed the filesystem above DRBD (e.g. "ls /the/mirrored/partition") would hang. Once the secondary was shutdown the commands that were hung suddenly completed. I'm not necessarily looking for a fix (although if I were told this was fixed in a latter release you'd make my day :^), I'm trying to understand why this would happen. Anyone have any ideas? -- Tony Willoughby Bigband Networks mailto:tony.willoughby at bigbandnet.com
