Hello, we have two Dual-Opteron-275 (Dual Core) 2.2 GHz with 1.2TB-SATA-SCSI-RAID attached. Running AMD64-Debian with linux-2.6.13.2 and drbd-0.7.13. Setup is -RAID-Volume (1.2TB) -LVM2 (300M LV) -DRBD (attached config) -ext3 -external drbd-metadata Test is following: on primary: dd if=/dev/zero of=/sharedfilesytem/foo on secondary drbd stop and after a few seconds drbd start then the primary hangs when running SMP-enabled kernel, we get "Console shut down"-Message on console with a lot of output before. When running non-SMP-Kernel everything works fine. What can i do next? Best regards Thomas drbd.conf: sonne2:/usr/src/drbd-0.7.13# cat /etc/drbd.conf # # drbd.conf example # # parameters you _need_ to change are the hostname, device, disk, # meta-disk, address and port in the "on <hostname> {}" sections. # # you ought to know about the protocol, and the various timeouts. # # you probably want to set the rate in the syncer sections # # increase timeout and maybe ping-int in net{}, if you see # problems with "connection lost/connection established" # (or change your setup to reduce network latency; make sure full # duplex behaves as such; check average roundtrip times while # network is saturated; and so on ...) # # # Upgrading from DRBD-0.6.x # # Using the size parameter in the disk section (was disk-size) is # no longer valid. The agreed disk size is now stored # in DRBD's non volatile meta data files. # # NOTE that if you do not have some dedicated partition to use for # the meta-data, you may use 'internal' meta-data. # # THIS HOWEVER WILL DESTROY THE LAST 128M # OF THE LOWER LEVEL DEVICE. # # So you better make sure you shrink the filesystem by 128M FIRST! # or by 132M just to be sure... :) # skip { As you can see, you can also comment chunks of text with a 'skip[optional nonsense]{ skipped text }' section. This comes in handy, if you just want to comment out some 'resource <some name> {...}' section: just precede it with 'skip'. The basic format of option assignment is <option name><linear whitespace><value>; It should be obvious from the examples below, but if you really care to know the details: <option name> := valid options in the respective scope <value> := <num>|<string>|<choice>|... depending on the set of allowed values for the respective option. <num> := [0-9]+, sometimes with an optional suffix of K,M,G <string> := (<name>|\"([^\"\\\n]*|\\.)*\")+ <name> := [/_.A-Za-z0-9-]+ } # # At most ONE global section is allowed. # It must precede any resource section. # global { # use this if you want to define more resources later # without reloading the module. # by default we load the module with exactly as many devices # as configured mentioned in this file. # minor-count 10; # The user dialog counts and displays the seconds it waited so # far.
