[DRBD-user] problem with syncing new changes on disks

[Ravi Kanth]

Hello,

In my 3 machine config A, B and C. I want A - B cluster to be primary and
get all the real time data changes. Then I would disconnect B and connect it
with C to just copy the changes that we made. And then Connect B back to A,
while A was still getting changes made to it. So now B gets the new changes
from A. This way I could get stable changes (only changes I would like)
rather than realtime changes (like errors) onto C.

Problem I am facing is when I connect A-B and make changes there is no
change in UUID, but some activity in Activity log and bitmap. I don't
understand how it is checking the activity log but it is not seeing the
changes.

Now when I disconnect and connect it to C, it is either raising
Split-Brain,  or showing 0KB marked out of sync when B clearly has changes
to it.

Is there any way I could change UUID on C so that it always starts to sync
from B (not full disk syncs) or stop split brain.

Can any one please let me know, why the activities in activity log or
changed bm is not getting copied to node C?
