I guess you used internal meta data. if the RAID got it right, then all the old data is still there, lying at "the end" of the previous device, so somewhere at 220G. drbd only looks for its meta data at the end of the device, so at offset ~400G currently. there is nothing but nonsense there. you have to create new drbd meta-data then, as if you'd set it up for the first time. > so I tried : > root at darla1:~ # drbdsetup /dev/drbd0 resize > Failure: (138) Device does not have a disk-config > > I could not find what that means at all, google just points me to source > of drbdsetup.c, I also tried set size in config (400G) but did not make > any changes.
