I'm evaluating DRBD and having issues with the initial sync. Below is the drbd.conf file and the info reported to the console. Thank you in advance. I start up drbd manually using "/etc/init.d/drbd start" on both systems. I make the first system primary. - Before each attempt, I remove /var/lib/drbd/drbd0. - During the initial resync, the underlying disks are not being used for any other purpose (i.e. the primary is otherwise idle). - Primary crashes regardless of which system is primary. - I've tried the config using both the 100Mbit and Gbit cards, but resync using either fails. The primary crashes more quickly when using Gbit. - I did have resync succeed once, but I'm not sure the steps that led up to it. Once the resync was complete, both sides were Secondary (per /proc/drbd). In order to use it, one side had to be promoted to Primary.
