Hi,

I have a two-node pri/sec setup here. Currently the secondary is
offline and I when it'll go online it'll be a fresh installed node.
Full sync then.

But I need to increase the size of the primary device now.

Having read http://www.drbd.org/users-guide/s-resizing.html I now
don't fulfill the second criteria as the primary is not in state
"Connected"- instad in WFConncetion (as expected).

Now I'm unsure if I can easily grow the device while online. Or do I
have to go the off-line way (using internal meta-data)?

Any hint?

Otherwise I'd expect just to grow the underlying LVM and then do a
"drbadm resize drbd0". Will this do any harm?

Greetings

Christian
