[DRBD-user] allow-two-primaries (hot migration) and three nodes...

That is unfortunate to hear. What does `drbdsetup show <resource>` say after you've executed the command? Does it tell the same story on all nodes taking part in that volume? Any interesting logs in the journal?

Something seems wrong here. In a standard config, only one primary can exist. So it is weird that you can have two primaries when specifically resetting this parameter.

Right now, I go the "lazy way" by just having it turned on, living with the attributed risk. Ultimately, I want to move into the same direction that I've described to you in the other mail.
I should have mentioned that this was just from my notes without proper testing. I apologise.
