Well, so it was a good idea to test it on a demo machine.
Knowing that, is there a workaround documented somewhere? I guess I just need to dd the first part of the disk somewhere safe before. So, to sum up: Step 6 was the one which messes up everything. Step 10 writes the metadata to its proper location. Is that correct? Cheers, Ing.

Probably nothing. We have had a serious bug in drbdmeta. Quoting the commit message 4413afe drbdmeta: fix data corruption during offline resize Regression introduced in 8.4.3, still present in 8.4.4. When offline resizing internal meta data, drbdmeta forgot to properly re-initialize the new meta data offsets in time, and would move the old meta data into the existing data area, starting with offset 0 instead, thereby corrupting the first part of the data, up to the size of the old bitmap area. (embeded disk image partition table, file system super block, top level directory, all gone!) :-( Lars Ellenberg _______________________________________________ drbd-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linbit.com/mailman/listinfo/drbd-user
