Hi,
I'm in the middle of switching from a software RAID1 based on MD to another one based on DRBD but using the same disks.
I've verified that no data loss occurs during this operation, but I'm wondering if it's possible to avoid the initial full synchronization between disks since I'm sure the two disks are already mirrored by MD.
Is it possible to achieve it and in which way?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Pierpaolo
