In 8.4, there is still "indexed" external metadata and "flexible" external metadata. You should only ever use the "flex" flavor. The flex flavor can take the whole device, whatever you make available. I'm not exactly sure, but I sure hope we have dropped the "indexed" flavor in DBRD 9. Depending on the number of (max-) peers, DRBD 9 needs more room for metadata than a "two-node only" DRBD. -- : Lars Ellenberg : LINBIT | Keeping the Digital World Running : DRBD -- Heartbeat -- Corosync -- Pacemaker DRBD® and LINBIT® are registered trademarks of LINBIT __ please don't Cc me, but send to list -- I'm subscribed _______________________________________________ drbd-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linbit.com/mailman/listinfo/drbd-user
