Hi Guys,

(Sorry if multiple postings, having problems with email)

Sometime during the last few days my DRBD (8.0.3) entered a split-brain.

I am not sure what caused it, and wonder whether there are any experts 
on reading logs who might be able to help me?

Starting from a good state, I requested a /sbin/reboot:

Aug 24 17:21:35 init: Switching to runlevel: 6
Aug 24 17:21:36 kernel: drbd0: disk( UpToDate -> Diskless )
Aug 24 17:21:36 kernel: drbd0: drbd_bm_resize called with capacity == 0
Aug 24 17:21:36 kernel: drbd1: State change failed: Device is held open 
by someone
Aug 24 17:21:36 kernel: drbd1:   state = { cs:StandAlone 
st:Primary/Unknown ds:UpToDate/DUnknown r--- }
Aug 24 17:21:36 kernel: drbd1:  wanted = { cs:StandAlone 
st:Secondary/Unknown ds:UpToDate/DUnknown r--- }
Aug 24 17:21:36 kernel: drbd0: worker terminated


The following is the log of the reboot, after which I am 95% certain 
DRBD was left in split-brain:

taint flag.

Has any person any idea what might be causing this, and how to fix this?

Regards,

Ben
