All, Assuming I use "meta-data: internal" for both systems and both systems are of the same CPU arch, can I start with an initial state of synchronized if I manually mirror the backing device for my two DRBD mirror components ? For example, if I have machine-1 and machine-2 and they each have /dev/sde1 as their backing device (and using meta-data: internal), can I just do: root at machine-2# nc -l -p 5001 > /dev/sde1 < /dev/null ... root at machine-1# dd if=/dev/sde1 | nc machine-2 5001 < /dev/null and have DRBD operate correctly when started on both machines ?
