Hello, List.
I have the following scenario:
1) On a custom kernel, DRBD can be disabled via a boot flag;
2) DRBD, when enabled, has been configured to use external meta-data;
3) The disk partition dedicated to the external meta-data is NOT disturbed if Linux boots with DRBD disabled;
4) The corresponding user-data disk partition that is mirrored when DRBD is enabled is mounted directly, and written to, when DRBD is disabled;
5) Thus there is a skew between the user-data partition and the meta-data.
Questions:
A) When DRBD is re-enabled on a subsequent reboot, does it detect the skew between the user-data partition and the meta-data partition?
B) What is the best way to automatically invalidate, somewhere in the init scripts, the meta-data when booting with DRBD disabled?
Thanks in advance!
