Dan Barker, you are my hero !

In my iSCSI config on my DRBD hosts, I had :
Type=fileio

So, iSCSI use some caching, and replacing by :
Type=blockio

works perfectly now !

Thank you everyone for suggestions :)

Last question for you Dan : where did you find that was iSCSI blockio
the answer of your problems ?

Regards,


Olivier.
