<p class="MsoNormal">We have been using DRBD V8 and are in the process of moving to V9.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To be exact: “version: 9.0.1-1 (api:2/proto:86-111) GIT-hash: 86e443973082570aeb651848db89e0c7b995c306 build by abuild)”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One difference that we see is that if configured with ”allow-two-primaries no” and when there is<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">a network disconnect that ends up in two [disconnected] primaries neither of them will go into “StandAlone” connection<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">state when the network is reconnected.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Instead both nodes stay in state “Connecting” and refuses to connect with the error: “Multiple primaries not allowed by config”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Due to this, the disk state is never compared and no split brain logic is triggered.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is this a bug or a feature with V9 ?<o:p></o:p></p>

?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One [hackish] workaround is to dynamically temporarily allow two primaries while in state “Connecting” but that does not feel right.<o:p></o:p></p>

handshake. If DRBD detects that both nodes are (or were at some point, while disconnected) in the primary role, it immediately tears down the replication connection. The tell-tale sign of this is a message like the following appearing in the system log:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
