So, why again resynchronizing almost 500Mb although the partition is not
used at all (just mounted in a domU).

It does this based on the activity log. See
http://www.drbd.org/users-guide/s-activity-log.html for the details.

I was just surprised that it had to sync 500MByte although there were now writes on the partition.

When I tried to manually attach the device I got error messages:
"Split-Brain detected, dropping connection".

Split brain happens when the following happen in order:
1. you loose connection while having a primary
2. the other node becomes primary while still disconnected

This is why I do not understand how I got to a split brain. I do not use a cluster manager - switching from secondary to primary is done only manually. Node A was primary, Node B was secondary. The config states that "become-primary-on nodeA". So, node B was never switched to primary. Thus, from my understanding it should be impossible to get split-brain as nodeB was always secondary.

So, suddenly this one device is not connected anymore. All the other
drbd devices are still connected and working fine - only this single
device is making problems, although it has identical configuration.

So this is the device with the splitbrain condition?

Yes

You will need to resolve that, refer to
http://www.drbd.org/users-guide/s-resolve-split-brain.html

I did that now and try to reproduce the problem.

Have you made sure that your /etc/rc6.d and rc0.d have "stop" links to
the drbd init script? We have seen splitbrain upon reboot as well, and I
believe that missing init links were the reason.

stop symlinks are present.

regards
Klaus
