Hi I've been playing around with DRBD v0.7.14 and have got everything working OK. I'm now trying to start putting my system into production and I want to resize one of my /dev/drbdX partitions. (I'm attempting this stand-alone and have not connected the disk to another drbd device) I've attempted to resize with the following commands (in all possible combinations!!): /sbin/drbdsetup /dev/drbd0 disconnect /sbin/drbdsetup /dev/drbd0 down /sbin/drbdsetup /dev/drbd0 detach /sbin/drbdsetup /dev/drbd0 disk /dev/sda5 /dev/sda6 0 -d 62661501 but this fails with an entry in the dmesg: drbd0: Requested disk size is too big (62661501 > 59000) I've also tried: /sbin/drbdsetup /dev/drbd0 resize -d 62661501 but this results in the same dmesg entry as above. If I do a: /sbin/drbdsetup /dev/drbd0 show I get the following Lower device: 08:05 (sda5) Meta device: 08:06 (sda6) Meta index: 0 Disk options: size = 62661501 KB However filesystem operations fail and the volume eg: /sbin/mke2fs -j /dev/drbd0 mke2fs 1.35 (28-Feb-2004) /dev/drbd0: Read-only file system while setting up superblock Is there any way to get back to a clean state without using fdisk and re-creating the partitions ? -- Jeremy Bowen Systems Administrator iSERVE Limited http://www.iserve.co.nz/
