Hi, I wanted to check exactly what drbd does when doing a resync. I'm using heartbeat with drbd8 and under certain conditions I think I'd lose data. I've got two drbd partitions with one being primary on each server and shared over NFS. If I lose the connection (crossover between the nodes) that drbd uses the nodes just keep running as they are. If node 1 loses connectivity to the LAN as well, it makes the primary partition secondary and node 2 takes over as primary for both partitions. But node 1 has changes that never reached node 2 before it starts being changed. Once the drbd connection is restored, will the changes on both nodes be synced or is the secondary overwritten by the new primary? Since there's the --overwrite-peer-data option I'm wondering whether a normal sync goes both ways? If it doesn't go both ways then I need to get heartbeat to do outdating and suchlike which it doesn't currently do. Unless drbd can do it itself, but I'm not sure it caters to doing so under the conditions I've got. Thanks for any help or advice. Guy -- Don't just do something...sit there!
