To DRBD's guys: After removing and restoring one VM (vm106) I found a strange situation on my 3 nodes PVE with DRBD9 on the Primary node: root at mpve2:~# drbdadm status .drbdctrl role:Primary volume:0 disk:UpToDate volume:1 disk:UpToDate mpve1 role:Secondary volume:0 peer-disk:UpToDate volume:1 peer-disk:UpToDate mpve3 role:Secondary volume:0 peer-disk:UpToDate volume:1 peer-disk:UpToDate .....omitted... vm-106-disk-1 role:Primary disk:UpToDate mpve1 connection:StandAlone mpve3 role:Secondary peer-disk:UpToDate on the node that appear in StandAlone: root at mpve1:~# drbdsetup status .drbdctrl role:Secondary volume:0 disk:UpToDate volume:1 disk:UpToDate mpve2 role:Primary volume:0 peer-disk:UpToDate volume:1 peer-disk:UpToDate mpve3 role:Secondary volume:0 peer-disk:UpToDate volume:1 peer-disk:UpToDate .....omitted... vm-106-disk-2 role:Secondary disk:Inconsistent mpve2 connection:StandAlone mpve3 connection:Connecting As you can see there is not a vm-106-disk-1 but there is a vm-106-disk-2, inexistent on other two nodes. But with locate I can found on mpve1: root at mpve1:~# locate vm-106 /dev/drbd/by-disk/drbdpool/vm-106-disk-2_00 /dev/drbd/by-res/vm-106-disk-2 /dev/drbd/by-res/vm-106-disk-2/0

is on mpve1 and mpve3 a drbdpool-vm--106--disk--2_00 moreover there is on mpve3 a drbdpool-vm--105--disk--2_00, but the VM 105 is not more existent. The question is: why there are this kind of misalignement and how to solve them, considering that the system is in production? (for me can be not a problem to remove vm106 and restore from a backup, but I want to avoid problems on the restored VM). And how to avoid this kind of problems in the future? Thanks in advance, Michele
