hi, pure drbd, no corosync/pacemaker (first attempt, i started to read about lvm,cluster,... some days ago) when drbd on top of lv (lvm-logical-volumn) and on both nodes the lv are formatted with mkfs.ext4, cause of error 40 i had to zero the start of lv. after 'create-md' and 'up' on both nodes (cs:Connected ro=Sec/Sec ds=Inconsistant/Inconsistant) now i tried drbdadm --force primary r0 but i got error 17 and found in www a solution drbdadm invalidate r0 now automatically sync starts (cs:SyncTarget ro=Sec/Sec ds=Incons/Uptodate) the peer is implicit declared uptodate this way ? i should have invalidated the peer if i want to set local node to be primary ? (in case there are actually data on the node that shall become primary) but the main question: can i avoid the sync process, if on new disks there are no data ? sync is done (cs:Connected ro=Sec/Sec ds=Uptodate/Uptodate) i read, when brbd with pacemaker, then (i guess the resource-manager forces this) only on primary i have rw-access, and on secondary i cannot even read the mirrored data. i found the data (lv) already mounted on primary. i created a small file in /mnt/lva (mountpoint declared in /etc/fstab) now i want to change roles (manual 6.5 basic manual failover). `mount` or `df -h` does not show the mounted device. umount /dev/vg_xxx/lv_aaa => not mounted umount /mnt/lva => not mounted umount /dev/mapper/vg_xxx-lv_aaa => not mounted i simply tried (on current primary) : drbdadm secondary r cd /mnt/lva # change on that small file /proc/drbd -> ds:uptodate/uptodate on secondary : drbdadm primary r -> ro:Primary/Secondary ds:uptodate/uptodate (roles changed) on new primary i cannot mount the volumn cause its busy on old primary i can still see the new file now i stopped drbd on old primary and tried to mount the lv but it cannot mounted as ext4 anymore, cause it is damaged by the call of dd ?! how this is done correct: brbd on top of lv with internal metadata ? ? i must not zero the head of the formatted lv ? i have to force writing metadata to the end of that lv thanks in advance andreas -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
