[DRBD-user] (DRBD 9) promote secondary to primary with primary crashed

[Lars Ellenberg]

Note, just adding "--force" if DRBD refuses to promote
is usually a Very Bad Idea™.
Because usually DRBD has a good reason to refuse promotion.

And "forcing" the role change
does NOT magically make the accessible data any better.

Does it have "access to UpToDate data"?

Why not?
