Note: "permalinks" may not be as permanent as we would like,
direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.


dmesg | grep sr1 should show you all you need to know.

Hi guys,

 

I'm trying to debug a SSD drive that's the backing device for my secondary
node.

 

The primary/secondary are sync'd (protocol C) and everything goes fine until
I get to testing fail-over, e.g.on the primary "drbdadm secondary drbd-sr1",
and on the secondary "drbdadm primary drbd-sr1".

 

When I do this the secondary locks up for about 5 minutes (SSH session
drops) then it starts responding again and I see drbd has now dropped into
diskless mode.

 

I'm thinking there might be IO errors occurring with the underlying disk and
perhaps drbd is automatically detaching it.

 

Right now I'm running badblocks on the backing device and seeing if it can
find any problems.

 

In the meantime I've been trying to figure out how to get more information
about IO errors from drbd.

 

My devices are configured with "detach" as recommended
(http://www.drbd.org/users-guide/s-configure-io-error-behavior.html),
however, I'm not sure how to find out more information about when this event
occurs.

 

Are there any debugging options I can enable that would help me see IO error
details that caused a detach? 

 

Thanks!

Andrew
