I am using drbd 0.7

If I want to make an existing ext3 file system into a drbd device, what is the 
comand for shrinking it first?
If I have a primary device that crashed and the secondary device takes over, 
and now I put a bigger
primary device HD, do I just adjust the size in the config for the primary 
device and then sync it, and then change the secondary device into a bigger HD 
similar to the primary size so everything is equal in size again and the pair 
device will operate as usual.

thanks,
