Would setting it to "redundancy 1" work then? (I did try that setting to see if it would show free space but no. I didn't yet try adding a VM in that state.) > There is no "import old resources" feature, Interesting. The docs say that DRBD 9 can use DRBD 8.x config files with a few adjustments.

That calls for troubles. Multiple page filling troubles. Not exactly, I just want to be able to activate storage on this DRBD9 node - stand-alone for now - so I can put some VMs on it. Then I will upgrade the other node's OS, wipe and reconfigure its storage, then actually add it to the DRBD 9 cluster. >> Third question: Is DRBD 9 considered production stable yet?

This is part of the reason for the upgrade. Unfortunately, Proxmox's kernel includes the DRBD 9 module only. (Is there any chance Linbit's repo could offer a package that supplies the 8.4 module so we users can choose until 9.x is production-stable?) Thank you very much for your reply! Sincerely, Sean M.
