Felix, Fort he manuall replicating of my devices i stoped drbd of course. My old host, xen001 is going to be formated and reinstalled. does that mean i should rather setup "internal" fort he meta-data? anyway, strange ist hat the data hasn't synced at all. after coping from xen001 onto xen002 with dd over ssh i finally have the previous state of my domu's. i am only a bit afraid when i bring up again my new xen001, what will be in the future, what did i wrong in the config files or better, what possibilities do i have to track or test the sync's of drbd devices? thanks a lot, walter. -----Original Message----- From: Felix Frank [mailto:ff at mpexnet.de] Sent: Donnerstag, 28.

You can check by snapshotting the backing device on the secondary, if you can survive the performance hit for a few minutes. Just mount the snapshot and examine the data. > When an /index/is specified, each index number refers to a fixed slot > of meta-data of 128 MB, which allows a maximum data size of 4 GB. Interesting, I didn't know that. Is that a typo in the documentation? Because 128MB of metadata for 4GB of data cannot be right. That should probably be 4TB there. If the 4G limit *was* correct, it would explain some things, seeing as your volumes are each way above 4GB, but again - that doesn't make a lick of sense. Cheers, Felix
