Are you using a self-built out-of-tree DRBD, or the one that ships with your kernel? I ask because if you're on 3.2.6, your kernel should ship with something that's equivalent to 8.3.11 already -- which would mean that up to this point you'd also have also been running 8.3.11 kernel code against 8.4.1 userland, which can be a bad idea in itself. > Drbd can hang without any kernel messages just stop write and read.... 2 options: 1, If you still have your 8.4 tools installed, you can do "drbdadm apply-al" to apply the Activity Log, then shut everything down, downgrade your binaries to 8.3, and then bring everything back up. 2, If you've already uninstalled your 8.4 tools, and have downgraded to 8.3, and both your devices were Secondary and UpToDate/UpToDate (hence, fully in sync) before you shut them down, then you can also recreate the metadata and skip the initial sync as explained under "truck based replication" in the 8.3 User's Guide. Hope this helps. Cheers, Florian -- Need help with High Availability? http://www.hastexo.com/now
