[DRBD-user] force primary mode without loss of local data

[Martin Gombač]

Hi,

i want to force this drbd device to primary mode. It's peer is long time 
gone, so i need to access this data. I don't want to access it directly, 
but via drbd.

 0: cs:WFConnection st:Secondary/Unknown ds:Consistent/DUnknown C r---
    ns:0 nr:0 dw:0 dr:0 al:0 bm:130 lo:0 pe:0 ua:0 ap:0
    resync: used:0/31 hits:0 misses:0 starving:0 dirty:0 changed:0
    act_log: used:0/257 hits:0 misses:0 starving:0 dirty:0 changed:0


This is what i tried so far but with no luck:

drbdadm -- --overwrite-data-of-peer primary X
State change failed: (-2) Refusing to be Primary without at least one 
UpToDate disk
Command 'drbdsetup /dev/drbd0 primary --overwrite-data-of-peer' 
terminated with exit code 11

drbdadm -- --do-what-i-say primary X
drbdsetup: unrecognized option '--do-what-i-say'
Command 'drbdsetup /dev/drbd0 primary --do-what-i-say' terminated with 
exit code 20


Any other ideas? Should i recreate metadata?
Tnx for help.

Regards,
M.
