I shrinked the filesystem to use this kind of metadisk using resize2fs. The primary node, opt is /dev/sda8 The secondary node, opt is /dev/sda6 what happens if i stop drbd on secondary, then on primary, and then i dismount /dev/drbd0 on primary and then mount the real device (/dev/sda8) and write data to it and then start drbd in both servers and mount the /dev/drbd0 on primary? is there a chance to lose data? I know i can restart everything from zero moving the data from primary (/dev/sda8) to another machine and then start drbd, mount /dev/drbd0 /opt on primary and move the files back again and let it sync, but it takes so long! its 600 gb of data =/ ps: i dont have another disk to backup this 600GB... all i can do is to copy over network to another machine! please help! -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/writing-data-to-the-physical-device-instead-of--dev-drbd0-tp26922845p26922845.html Sent from the DRBD - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
