Hi there, we are using DRBD 8.0.x on a cluster where the space is getting short. So the idea is replacing the hard drives used for DRBD and resizing the resource without need to copy the data somewhere else. We thought about doing the following: 1. on slave: drbdadm down all 2. replace hard drives on slave 3. partitioning the whole new space for being backing device of drbd 4. full sync (capacity will be that one of master, of course) 5. switching the cluster 6. doing the same on the other node 7. resizing drbd 8. resizing file system Would that be sufficient for our problem? Are there any gotchas or maybe better ways to accomplish this? Needless to say, that of course we have a backup in case, there is failing something. But we want to avoid restoring the data from there because of the time that is required for that amount of data (85GB in very many small files). Any suggestions very appreciated :-) -- Mit freundlichen Gruessen Andreas Haase Administration und Technik evolver services GmbH Fon +49 / (0)3 71 / 4 00 03 727 Fax +49 / (0)3 71 / 4 00 03 79 E-Mail andreas.haase at evolver.de Web http://www.evolver.de Sitz der Gesellschaft: Chemnitz Handelsregister: Amtsgericht Chemnitz, HRB 22649 Geschaeftsfuehrer: Dirk Neubauer Es ist wieder soweit: Die cubedays2009 laden zum ungewöhnlichsten Brainstorming des Jahres ins Innovationscamp Hennersdorf!
