Hello,
I am currently testing dual-master setup with DRBD+OCFS2.
Finally I managed to get it working well on kernel 2.6.39.4, DRBD version
8.3.10 (userland version: 8.4.1) and OCFS2 version 1.5.0.
I had some troubles with broken replication, and sometimes I see that
automatic recovery sometimes works and sometimes does not. What's strange,
is that this still are tests, and actually when one server is fully
functional, second one has no processess that even touch the synchronized
partition.
In dmesg on the active server it looks like this:
[707152.209885] block drbd0: Handshake successful: Agreed network protocol

[707152.209895] block drbd0: conn( WFConnection -> WFReportParams )

Is there any help for this situation? I don't understand why the case
isn't solved, since second server doesn't write to drbd0, sometimes even
partition wasn't mounted (I can't be 100% sure, but it seems so).
I would be greatful if you could give me some hint how to make this
configuration stable, without sacrificing data on one of nodes (now in
order to recover I have to set second node to slave). Any ideas what is
wrong in my setup?
P.S. Any suggestions how to measure real performance (read/write/copy) of
DRBD+OCFS2? UnixBench gives crazy results (read performance about 10% of
local filesystem)...
Best regards,
