[DRBD-user] notes on 8.3.2

[Gianluca Cecchi]

Started experimenting with 8.3.2 downloaded yesterday and compiled on
a F11 x86_64 (kernel 2.6.29.5-191.fc11.x86_64) host I noticed these
things:

- drbdadm create-md r0 segfaults when the command "hostname" on the
server contains the fully qualified domain name but you have put only
the hostname part in drbd.conf
Instead, the command "drbdadm dump" correctly gives you a warning in
this case (suggesting how to correct the error you made....):

suppose complete hostname is virtfed.domainname.com and you put
virtfed alone in drbd.conf
[root at virtfed ~]# drbdadm dump
WARN: no normal resources defined for this host (virtfed.domainname.com)!?

while
[root at virtfed ~]# drbdadm create-md r0
Segmentation fault
[root at virtfed ~]# echo $?
139

[root at virtfed ~]# gdb -ex run -ex bt --args drbdadm create-md r0

- inside default drbd.conf installed there are these lines in syncer section

    # Normally all devices are resynchronized parallel.
    # To achieve better resynchronisation performance you should resync
    # DRBD resources which have their backing storage on one physical
    # disk sequentially. The express this use the "after" keyword.
    after "r2";

so that I didn't notice and the command
[root at virtfed ~]# drbdadm create-md r0

gave
/etc/drbd.conf:100: in resource r0:
	resource 'r2' mentioned in 'after' option is not known.

perhaps it would be better to mantain the line  <<after "r2";>> but
commented .... (as in the CPU affinity lines, for example)
but perhaps the line is there explicitly because at the end there are
several resources defined (that I deleted) and between them there is
also r2.... donna
