(((2*1024*1024*1024 - (4*1024) - (64*512)) / 4096 / 8 / 512) + 7)/8*8 + 64 You likely had a previous lv (of size 1 GB) with internal meta data, destroyed that at some point without wiping the drbd meta data area, later created a new LV (of size 2GB), and drbd found the old stale meta data block in the garbage on disk, which does not quite match the new lv size. When decommissioning an LV+DRBD, maybe you want to at least "drbdadm wipe-md" just before the lvremove. -- : 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
