[DRBD-user] drbd-0.7.15 one primary device got locked in BrokenPipestatus forbidding all i/o operations.

direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.


I forgot to say that all the drdb devices are synced
between the 2 nodes through a cross cable.

The latest stable version for our busy smp cluster seems to be
drbd-0.7.11.

Another strange thing happens with drbd-0.7.15:
2 or 3 of the 6 drbd devices, when switching from
primary to secondary while mounted,
drbd complains that there is some i/o in use,
even if the command fuser doesn't show any
process using them.

This didn't happen with drbd-0.7.11,
and happens with drbd-0.7.15 only after some days
of use of the primary partitions and only for
some of them.

Is it a wanted behaviour?
