[DRBD-user] DRBD primar/primary

[James Wilson]

Thanks for the reply. I haven't had this happen on its own. I was just 
testing by pulling the network cable to see if everything would failover 
and noticed it when the other server came back up. Also to manually 
resync them I just issue the command drbdadm invalidate "r0" or whatever 
your resource is. Is this the wrong way to do it?
