Lars..

My environment "needs" of drbd8. Because live migration works flawlessly with
pri/pri resources. Using sec/pri I need to do a big trip to achieve this.

sleep the vm
put local disk as secondary
copy the vm state to remote server
put remote disk as primary
load the vm state.

This procedure takes 20-30 seconds to complish. I can even keep the session
(because tcp/ip timeout)

With pri/pri I do the following:
put remote disk as primary
start xen live migration
put local disk as secondary

The procedure takes 1-3 seconds, and I have only 1 second of delay in session
(most of users cannot even notice the migration).


My question is:

Will be any compatibility with drbd7 and 8? there is a way to migrate drbd7
metadata to 8 without data loss?

Best regards

      if you are going production system, don't use developement versions
      of drbd,
      use the stable branch (0.7.x, x == 20 currently).

      if you want to help in the developemnt process of drbd 8,
      please try to use the most recent svn checkout
      svn co http://svn.drbd.org/drbd/trunk  drbd-8-svn


      if you get problems with some "special" kernel, please try to
      reproduce
      with "vanilla" first, to see if it is related to the special kernel,
      or
      some more generic problem.

      I think you _must_ use at least 2.02 here with recent kernels.

      so this should be more like
        LVM version:     2.02.05 (2006-04-21)
        Library version: 1.02.05 (2006-04-19)
        Driver version:  4.5.0

      try again with recent svn checkout.

      double check the kernel stack size.
      4K is likely to be too small and will overflow.
      this is not neccessary the case here, though. could be a drbd bug in
      the
      drbd resize code that got already fixed in svn.
