<p class="MsoNormal">hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">pure drbd, no corosync/pacemaker (first attempt, i started to read about lvm,cluster,... some days ago)
<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">when drbd on top of lv (lvm-logical-volumn) and on both nodes the lv are formatted with
<br>
mkfs.ext4, cause of error 40 i had to zero the start of lv. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">after 'create-md' and 'up' on both nodes (cs:Connected ro=Sec/Sec ds=Inconsistant/Inconsistant) now i tried<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> drbdadm --force primary r0 <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">but i got error 17 and found in www a solution <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> drbdadm invalidate r0<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">now automatically sync starts (cs:SyncTarget ro=Sec/Sec ds=Incons/Uptodate)

<p class="MsoNormal">the peer is implicit declared uptodate this way ?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">i should have invalidated the peer if i want to set local node to be primary ? (in case there are actually data on the node that shall become primary)
<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">but the main question:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">can i avoid the sync process, if on new disks there are no data ?<o:p></o:p></p>

</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">primary i have rw-access, and on secondary i cannot even read the mirrored data.
<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">i found the data (lv) already mounted on primary. i created a small file in /mnt/lva (mountpoint declared in /etc/fstab)

<p class="MsoNormal">how this is done correct: brbd on top of lv with internal metadata ?

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> ? i must not zero the head of the formatted lv <o:p></o:p></p>
