Hi there, we are using DRBD on HW raid (sdb) on raw device no partition, after we did hotplug increase of disk from 220 to 400, the kernel could not reload the device , i tried fdisk reload etc..nothing. So I had to reboot, after reboot i can the disk has new size but DRBD failed to startup, rbd: initialised. Version: 8.0.6 (api:86/proto:86) drbd: SVN Revision: 3048 build by root at darla2.per.in.iz, 2007-09-18 22:34:02 drbd: registered as block device major 147 drbd: minor_table @ 0xffff8100731dee80 drbd0: disk( Diskless -> Attaching ) drbd0: Error while reading metadata, magic not found. drbd0: disk( Attaching -> Diskless ) drbd0: drbd_bm_resize called with capacity == 0 drbd0: worker terminated drbd0: conn( StandAlone -> Unconnected ) drbd0: receiver (re)started drbd0: conn( Unconnected -> WFConnection ) so I tried : root at darla1:~ # drbdsetup /dev/drbd0 resize Failure: (138) Device does not have a disk-config I could not find what that means at all, google just points me to source of drbdsetup.c, I also tried set size in config (400G) but did not make any changes. From my undestanding extending block device should work same like LVM so I dont really know why the metadata have gone? Can you please advice what I did wrong, or what can I do to fix this. This is only on one machine , 2nd machine is offline. My plan was to increase one by one. Thanks Petr Cervenka
