[DRBD-user] Stop DRBD Sync

[Alireza Nematollahi]

Thanks for the information. I understand that the data is inconsistent but it happened to me that I'm syncing say 600GB data on one volume when the I need to stop the disk and I don't want the sync to go on anymore. Before stopping the disk, I have to stop the sync.

Thanks

What for? You know you've got inconsistent data on your SyncTarget once
the sync has started, right?

So a way to stop the full sync _and_ later return to having a
consistent, redundant data set would be this (on current SyncTarget):

drbdadm down <resource>
drbdadm invalidate <resource>
drbdadm up <resource>

Of course, though, that earns you yet another full sync, so it seems
like a pointless exercise to me. Maybe I'm not getting the point of your
question?

Cheers,
Florian
