[DRBD-user] File data corrupt when I switch Nodes

[Kevin Izzet]

Hi Lars,

Changed code and restarted drbd, forced a resync of the secondary server, 
once
completed I failed over onto the secondary server and the results are the 
same.

Failed back to original primary and all ok, ran an fsck.ext3 on both sides 
(while device primary on each)
which showed no errors.

Re-created the ext3 file system (mke2fs -j -L drbd0 -b 4096 /dev/drbd0) 
and re-created the file structure,
tried a switch but the data is still corrupt......

well, that does not help.
the version you have does not know about the DRBD_DISABLE_SENPAGE define
yet...

expected, as it still is the very same situation as before.
nothing has changed.

seemingly we have an issue with 2.4. code.
maybe we just forgot to update some of the endless #if/#endif branches
for 2.4. with fixes that only went into some 2.6. branches.
maybe it is not as easy as that. I don't know yet.

for now, you could simply find in drbd_main.c, in function
_drbd_send_page the line (ca 940) where it says

        if ( (page_count(page) < 1) || PageSlab(page) ) {
 

and replace that with
                 if ( 1 ) {

thanks.
