Certainly not. I dare say the DRBD init script is fine ;-) There was something about the correct _order_ of actions in my original reply. If you stop things in the wrong order, then that will lead to what is known as "DRBD split brain". Of course, if after reboot, you start things in the wrong order, like promoting to Primary before connecting to the peer, that will do the same. You need to get the *order* of the start and stop actions right. -- : 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
