<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>I am running DRBD 8.3.1. I am trying to resize a partition, but for some reason I cannot increase the capacity. Here is the scenario: <BR>
<BR>
At one point I had a 5 TB partition on one machine and a 4 TB partition on the other machine. I increased the size of the partition on the 4 TB machine to 5 TB, and then did a drbdadm resize all. I then did a pvresize on /dev/drbd1, my DRBD device, but did not see the increase in size. I restarted DRBD, but that did not help. I am getting this in /var/log/messages:<BR>

<BR>
But on that machine parted is reporting 5398GB. <BR>
On the other machine the partition is 5898 GB. <BR>
<BR>
What would keep the partition from going beyond 4 TB? Both machines are running 2.6.27 64 bit kernels. Also, I do not have a size maximum listed in drbd.conf. <BR>
