rsync works on file(-system)-level, drbd compares disks and blocks. So by mixing both these tools, even though the filesystem mounted by hand on both seems to be the same, the disks aren't the same anymore once rsync did write something. And during the time drbd is off and you changed something, drbd will not recognize these changes. Due to the fact that a) drbd was off at that time and b) drbd works on block-device-level. If this sounds like "you are fu**ed", that is partly intended. Mixing the levels of access is experimental at best and you better have a backup before starting such stuff. Have fun, Arnold
