Hello,
I try to shrink a drbd device online. The documentation says:
"To shrink DRBD on-line, issue the following command *after* you have
shrunk the file system residing on top of it:
# drbdadm resize --size=<new-size> <resource>
You may use the usual multiplier suffixes for *<new-size>* (K, M, G etc.).
After you have shrunk DRBD, you may also shrink the containing block device
(if it supports shrinking)."
cat /proc/drbd
version: 8.4.1 (api:1/proto:86-100)

Disk /dev/drbd2: 78.4 GB, 78380724224 bytes

Disk identifier: 0xa97119f5
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
No partitions at all, no filesystem either, as this is just a test for the
real resize of a live system.
The problem:
# drbdadm resize --size=60G r2
drbdadm: unrecognized option '--size'
try 'drbdadm help resize'
'drbdadm help resize' doesn't mention --size as possible option
I'd like to know how can I shrink my drbd device.
Thanks for your help.
