Hello List, 

I tried to change the Raid Controller's of my 2 drbd cluster. 
So i halted one one made a raw backup change the controller und restore
the data. After this my secound drbd volume don't come up. 

The failure message was: 
drbd_md_sync_page_io(,3657720,WRITE)failed! 
meta data updated failed 
IO ERROR writing bitmap sector 0 (meta-disk sector 
short sent ReportParams size=80 send=-1000 

I think the meta date store is broken :( 
Is it possible to change the raid hardware with drbd and raw backup or
is there another solution?
