Note: "permalinks" may not be as permanent as we would like,
direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.


Here is the configuration file:

 

resource espejoB {

  syncer

  {

  rate 20M;

  verify-alg md5;

  }

  startup

  {

  wfc-timeout 15;

  degr-wfc-timeout 15;

  outdated-wfc-timeout 15;

  }

  on Hidralia-Primario {

    device    /dev/drbd2;

    disk      /dev/sdb1;

    address   192.168.2.3:7790;

    meta-disk internal;

  }

  on Hidralia-Secundario {

    device    /dev/drbd2;

    disk      /dev/sdb1;

    address   192.168.2.4:7790;

    meta-disk internal;

 

The partition takes all the disk, but in the new one, when I created it, was a little smaller. Don’t know also if it is because of the logical-physical alignment.

I have two different servers with drbd replication. One disk failed in one of the servers. I have replaced it with a newer disk with physical sector size of 4096 bytes. The old one is 512 bytes.

 

That shouldn't matter..

 

 

Now, I’m receiving a message saying “the disk size of peer is too small” and the resources don’t connect. If both disks are of the same size, is there any configuration I can make to make it work?

 

Depends how DRBD resource has been configured. Can you provide the .res files ? 

 

 

I’m pasting the fdisk print information of both disks. Can I create a partition of the same size in the new disk? What can I do to solve this problem?

 

If the DRBD resource is configured to use partitions instead of a full disk, then yes you need to create an equal or bigger partition on the new disk (destionation).
