I have drbd set up to replicate data between two servers. One of these servers unfortunately kernel panic'd and rebooted. After coming back online, the server wants to do a full sync. It is the secondary server. This is a bit difficult, as the the primary server is on the other side of the continent. We're using local cable providers for internet access, so speed is also an issue. There is about 750 GB of data that needs synced, and at our current speeds, that would take about a month (for the initial sync we had the two servers in the same location, so this wasn't an issue). I'm wondering if there's anything we can do to get drbd to recognize the data that is currently on the server that is out of date. I found someone who had a similar issue, where after reboot drbd wanted to resync the entire system, but it seems unrelated since it had to do with no initial sync. The following is the log from the secondary machine, around the point that "full sync required" is noted. Any help would be appreciated!
