Luckily this happened on a test resource and not a live one, so it's not a big problem, but I was wondering if there were any known ways of recovering it without doing anything disruptive to the other resources (e.g. rebooting or unloading the kernel module).

I think I had tried a non-forced disconnect previously (and perhaps also implicitly as part of a 'down' attempt, though I'm not sure whether it would have gotten to that step if the disconnect operation didn't complete), but 'drbdsetup 9 disconnect --force' also just hangs.

As mentioned in another message in response to Florian, blocking the replication port via iptables doesn't seem to have had any effect.


Thanks,
