Are you referring to the issues I had?<br>This is a common problem if you try to setup DRBD on an existing partition, and don't take into consideration the meta-disk<br><br>When we ran this, it would "look" ok, but when trying to copy a file of a certain size it would corrupt.
<br>It turned out the magic number was around 183 megs for us.<br><br>The key to that was to build the partition on the DRBD device which is the way it's supposed to be installed.<br><br>If you can let us know the exact steps you use to setup the drbd devce, the partition, and our configuration file,

0.7.23 with<br>Heartbeat2 on two future database server. However, DRBD seems to have<br>corrupted my multi-disk RAID1. I booted a Knoppix CD on the affected<br>machines, removed the DRBD rc.d scripts, and rebooted and things were
<br>fine. To verify, I ran update-rc.d to recreate the symbolic links, and<br>rebooted again to find that it again would not boot. Moreover, even<br>removing the rc.d links did not help - the array is, I fear, irreparably
<br>damaged.<br><br>Is there any acknowledgement of this bug, or are there any suggestions<br>as to how one might go about fixing it? I can't even boot into the<br>machine to run mdadm and repair the array, though maybe I can do that
<br>from the Knoppix CD...<br><br>In any case, I just wanted to make people aware, and hopefully get a<br>little feedback. Thanks.<br><br><br>--<br>Ryan Steele<br>Systems Administrator<br><br><br>_______________________________________________
