Hello Lars,

thank you for your reply. Currently I am on christmas holidays, but I will look into it again, when I am back in office and reply in more detail then.

Only to get it right: The information I am currently still missing is:

At what numbers the sector in DRBD are starting to be counted and at which block number ext4 starts counting, before I can determine what files are concerned by the out of sync blocks.

I am not sure, but in case anyone could be using this information, I will give some feedback, what steps I took to identify files on out of sync blocks.

Wishing "Merry Christmas" to all of you!

Melanie

Hi all,

we are at the moment experiencing irregular out-of-sync blocks on
our highly loaded system with the nightly drbd verify jobs.

Disconnect/connect does swiftly put the devices back into a correct state.

Still I would like to investigate the issue and find out what files
are concerned by the out of sync blocks.

Is it possible to translate the information about the start of the
out of sync area from the log into ext4 filesystem blocks (4 KiB)?
Is it maybe simply "(sectors=512 Byte) / (ext4 block size=4096 Byte)"?

... block drbd7: Out of sync: start=22378360, size=8 (sectors)

That's linear block address sectors (512 byte),
so if the first byte is byte number 0, this is the 4k block
from byte offset 512 * 22378360 (exclusive)
to 512 * (22378360 + 8) (inclusive).
