Dear DRBD community,
We are setting up a 2+1 node cluster :
- A is master
- B is slave
- S is an additional spare/backup machine, disconnected most of the time
The use cases are :
- Normally we sync S once a week then unplug it and keep it safe. The dataset is big (26To) so it has to catch up fast.
- Of course when A fails we promote B
- But when either A or B fails, we still want HA: so we plug S in and keep it synced until the failed machine is repaired

So we intend to set up DRBD between A and B, and use a stacked DRBD resource to replicate (A+B) to S.

My question is: if A or B dies and can't be fixed, can S be reconfigured to replace it without a full sync? In other words: can a setup like (A->B)->S be changed to (A->S) with a quick sync?

Thanks in advance if you can share your knowledge.

Lionel Sausin
