Note: "permalinks" may not be as permanent as we would like,
direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.


Thanks for the reply. I decided to create a seperate partition for the metadata Like the second link below suggests.

While dealing with internal or "on-partition" metadata, I have found
these links :
* http://lists.linbit.com/pipermail/drbd-user/2007-January/006194.html :
Leroy van Logchem explains the benefits of having a separate meta-disk,
especially in case of trouble
* http://billboebel.typepad.com/blog/2006/11/data_mirroring_.html : the
author, Bill Boebel, recommends to use a separate meta-disk
* http://lists.linbit.com/pipermail/drbd-dev/2006-January/000328.html :
a Philipp Reisner's reminder about "internal vs external meta data" and
performances

Perhaps it can be helpful. In all cases I think it's worth sharing
information on it.
