Hi,

I'm experimenting with drbd for two openstreetmap tile servers (dell
R210, 16G mem, ubuntu natty). No cluster manager, just drbd over md
raid0 to have something that resembles a raid0+1 setup.

One server, drbd primary, working ok, is at the moment happily importing
the 16G planet data into postgresql. However, the secondary server is
not happy. I cannot remember how many crashes and hung tasks the second
server has experienced but I cannot seem to be able to blame any
*hardware* as the culprit (mem is ok, disks are ok, swapped network
cards, contents of root partition (kernel & userland software) on both
servers is the same).

The server is started with 'delayacct hpet=disable nohz=off' as parameters.

This is what happened this afternoon, four minutes after I started syncing:

Does anyone recognise this stack trace? What could be going on?

Second question: Is it normal for 'drbdadm' to timeout or
could it be related? This happens on both the primary and the secondary,
depends on the change I made in the config.


root at nadir:/etc/drbd.d# drbdadm disconnect r0
Command 'drbdsetup 0 disconnect' did not terminate within 5 seconds


thanks for any input or pointers,
Maarten.
