<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>Does DRBD cause the system to reboot
when a split brain occurs? Because whenever I made both node primary by using
do-what-I-say option, the first primary node will reboot. If this is so,
how does drbd determine which one to reboot? I'm not implying it
is a bad thing, I just need to make sure.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>if node1 is active and node2 is
standby.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>node1# hb_standby</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>node1# becomes standby.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>node1# Tries to release the resources, but
failed to umount /dev/drbd0. drbd still in primary state.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>node2# becomes active.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>node2# start drbd and force it to become
primary by using --do-what-I-say.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>node2# drbd becomes primary.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>node1# reboot itself.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>What risks will I be taking if I use
--do-what-I-say to always make the partitions on Active node
primary?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
