<DIV><SPAN class=333433214-04012007><FONT face=Arial size=2>We are using drbd
0.7.22. During testing on VMWare virtual machines (ESX server) everything
went fine. We had to backout during our production implementation because
we kept getting write errors on the drbd partition. It seems that the
partition became readonly in the middle of writes (during a copy sever files
would write ok and then the partition became read only).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=333433214-04012007><FONT face=Arial size=2>The only thing I can
figure is that the physical partitions are a different size (I realized this
after our back out). From the archives I see that the partitions can
shrink if the larger disk is in use and then the smaller disk become
active. Could this have caused the read only issue?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=333433214-04012007><FONT face=Arial size=2>I will either change
the physical partition size or set the size setting in the disk section of the
drbd.cond file to use less than the smaller partition but I would like to verify
that this (partition going read only) is a possibility in this
case.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
