Don't miss the upgrade part just because it is in > parentheses. Out-of-tree 8.4.3 was February *2013*. Uhm, so the ML post quoted above said "8.3 git" finally fixed "it". Which is correct. Only that "it" was something different than what you have with 8.4.3 ... Even though it leads to similar messages in the kernel log. BTW, for people finding this in the archives: we have *different* log lines that prominently contain "BAD", so just because you see "BAD" does not yet mean you are seeing the same issue. This one is about "BAD! sector=12345s enr=6 rs_left=-7 rs_failed=0 count=89 cstate=..." We've had various issues over the years that would trigger those log messages, some could safely be ignored, some could lead to resync not terminating, or other effects. I'd recommend to not ignore those, but upgrade to latest 8.4. Yes, these issues are (supposed to be) fixed, the one I suspect you are hitting was fixed with 1c378ef drbd: fix resync finished detection Which was somewhere between 8.4.4 and 8.4.5 in 2014, and yes, it was a different issue from the one referred to in the ML post you found. -- : Lars Ellenberg : LINBIT | Keeping the Digital World Running : DRBD -- Heartbeat -- Corosync -- Pacemaker DRBD® and LINBIT® are registered trademarks of LINBIT __ please don't Cc me, but send to list -- I'm subscribed
