That is intentional. In error scenarios, you do not have much control over when a network fails/recovers, or a node reboots. So there we have dependencies to not overload the system with too much parallel resync activity. For verify, that is entirely triggered from userspace, you have full controll. > Is it possible to have DRBD verify B only when A is done verifying? Sure. Just don't start the verify on B while the verify on A is still running. ;-) like, for minor in 0 1 2 ; do drbdsetup $minor verify ; drbdsetup $minor wait-sync done Or similar. > If not, has it been/will it be possible in versions after 8.3.11? I don't see any kernel support for "verify dependencies" coming soon, as you can easily serialize verify operations in userland. Besides, now that we have the dynamically adaptive resync rate controller, and it is used for verify as well, for most cases I'd recommend to enable it globally, and get rid of the resync dependencies. -- : Lars Ellenberg : LINBIT | Your Way to High Availability : DRBD/HA support and consulting http://www.linbit.com
