Will this do any harm? yes, I'm afraid so. As you've read, growing a DRBD when not in Connected state means you have to do it offline, i.e. take the DRBD out of commission until the (gory) operation is complete. If I were in your shoes, I'd desperately look for any workaround that would allow me to postpone the resize until both nodes are operational. HTH, Felix
