Hello!
 
I've got a drbd setup with 2 drbd partitions in an active/active
failover Cluster. 
After measuring the performance of the disks we found out that the
Adaptec 2120s Controller has a very poor Performance. (only 20Mb/s
write)
 
I decide to change the SCSI-Controller to an LSI 320-2x SCSI Controller
which has about 80 MB/s write Performance. (My Setup is with 6x 147Gb
SCSI 15k Disks in Raid 10)
Now i have a third Server with exact the same Hardware, but the new
Contoller built in. I've made a Raw Offline Backup from the Disks (with
Netvault Backup) and want to restore the data on the new Server with the
new Controller.
Then i changed the mount points from /dev/iso/hda1 to /dev/sda1 for
example to fit the new hardware.

But now I've got a problem with drbd:

I think that something with the raw backup and restore process failes.
But i dont know another way to perform an upgrade(test-upgrade) of the
SCSI Controller. Is there another way or i am on the right one? :)

thx S.Novak
