It is supposed to work. > I'm using external metadata on all systems. on disk meta data is identical for 8.0, 8.2 and 8.3. > Is there anything I have to take care of? you may need to be careful with the drbd.conf, as drbd 8.2 understands some directives and shortcuts drbd 8.0 does not know about. you can check with "drbdadm -c some.example-conf -d dump" beforehand. if you happen to have such incompatible config files, you can use /etc/drbd-08.conf and /etc/drbd-82.conf, to ease the transition. as drbdadm 8.2 will first look for the -82.conf, and drbdadm 8.0 will first look for the -08.conf. -- : Lars Ellenberg : LINBIT | Your Way to High Availability : DRBD/HA support and consulting http://www.linbit.com DRBD® and LINBIT® are registered trademarks of LINBIT, Austria. __ please don't Cc me, but send to list -- I'm subscribed
