Can we > force the cluster soft to wait for reconnect a little bit? Disable digest-integrity. Buffers seem to be modified while being written out. Which I consider bad behaviour. But it is still "legal", and all filesystems seem to do it under certain circumstances. Digest-integrity with dual-primary is not a very good idea. Also, dual-primary mode of drbd does not necessarily add to your availability, so think twice if you really need it. We may add some workarounds in later versions of DRBD (copying all data to private pages first, before we further process it), which will obviously have additional performance impact. -- : Lars Ellenberg : LINBIT | Your Way to High Availability : DRBD/HA support and consulting http://www.linbit.com DRBD® and LINBIT® are registered trademarks of LINBIT, Austria. __ please don't Cc me, but send to list -- I'm subscribed
