See my former notes; in my experience I still have many doubts about using DRBD9 with PVE in production, even if I have it running for several months now. In particular I think that PVE DRBD9 storage integration needs refinements (storage occupation still does not correctly accounts for redundancy, and lacks features (such as volume resizing). On DRBD9 side, I still note randomly out-of-sync on some resources after node reboot, which I am able to fix only manually (disconnecting and reconnecting after some time, and similar ...) > In other words: can we upgrade without problems to PVE 4.4 and to DRBD > last software on Linbit repository, or to PVE 4.4 from Proxmox > repository and to latest DRBD from Linbit repository?

In any case, given that Proxmox will not provide further support for DRBD9 in PVE, you should consider the switch to linbit repo in any case, if you want to keep using it in the future. > Thanks and happy New Year, Same to you, rob
