Hi all I think this may have happened to one of yours but I could not find any hints to solve this problem automatically in the archives: Due to a blackout, node 1 shuts down first and becomes outdated (DRBD 8); node 2 acquires its resources and becomes primary for a few minutes until it shuts down too. After power comes back, node 2 does not boot due to a hardware transient problem (the disk is intact). Node 1 boots but refuses to be primary because it is outdated and my clustered services (http and email servers) are a joke. Is there any configuration workaround for this situation? I just want the SMTP and POP services to wake up in node 1 (probably using an alternative temporary spool directory) and later manually resynchronize the data (maildir and queues) after fixing note 2.
