Hi, Could the documentation please elaborate a bit more on the difference between meta-disk and flexible-meta-disk? http://www.drbd.org/users-guide/re-drbdconf.html#id1399020 I just got bitten by the (as far as I could find) undocumented difference that 'meta-disk' used a fixes 128M meta-disk size which limited the size of the array to (in my case) 4TB. This was noted when booting the array, of course, but only a few hours later, after a filesystem was created, a database was installed and more :) Jul 6 00:13:43 nadir kernel: [ 19.746006] block drbd0: ==> truncating very big lower level device to currently maximum possible 8587575296 sectors <== Jul 6 00:13:43 nadir kernel: [ 19.746009] block drbd0: ==>> using internal or flexible meta data may help <<== (Yes, I'm using external metadata) It's been documented on the list in 2009 already: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/drbd/users/18149?do=post_view_threaded#18149 but it would be *really nice* if I didn't have to wade through the archives of this list to find out about features. thanks, Maarten.
