Hello, List.

I have the following scenario:
1) On a custom kernel, DRBD can be disabled via a boot flag;
2) DRBD, when enabled, has been configured to use external meta-data;
3) The disk partition dedicated to the external meta-data is NOT disturbed if 
Linux boots with DRBD disabled;
4) The corresponding user-data disk partition that is mirrored when DRBD is 
enabled is mounted directly, and written to, when DRBD is disabled;
5) Thus there is a skew between the user-data partition and the meta-data.

Questions:
A) When DRBD is re-enabled on a subsequent reboot, does it detect the skew 
between the user-data partition and the meta-data partition?
B) What is the best way to automatically invalidate, somewhere in the init 
scripts, the meta-data when booting with DRBD disabled?

Thanks in advance!
