Hi, I have 3 proxmox nodes and just two of them have drbd storage backend: LINSTOR ==> sp list ╭─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮ ┊ StoragePool ┊ Node ┊ Driver ┊ PoolName ┊ FreeCapacity ┊ TotalCapacity ┊ SupportsSnapshots ┊ State ┊ ╞═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╡ ┊ drbdpool ┊ vm-box-2 ┊ LVM_THIN ┊ vg_vm-box-2/drbdpool ┊ 297.99 GiB ┊ 300 GiB ┊ true ┊ Ok ┊ ┊ drbdpool ┊ vm-box-4 ┊ LVM_THIN ┊ vg_vm-box-4/drbdpool ┊ 297.99 GiB ┊ 300 GiB ┊ true ┊ Ok ┊ ╰─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯
It used to work well moving VMs' virtual drives back and forth from local storage to drbdpool. After adding a diskless node to the pool: LINSTOR ==> sp list ╭─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮ ┊ StoragePool ┊ Node ┊ Driver ┊ PoolName ┊ FreeCapacity ┊ TotalCapacity ┊ SupportsSnapshots ┊ State ┊ ╞═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╡ ┊ drbdpool ┊ vm-box-2 ┊ LVM_THIN ┊ vg_vm-box-2/drbdpool ┊ 297.99 GiB ┊ 300 GiB ┊ true ┊ Ok ┊ ┊ drbdpool ┊ vm-box-3 ┊ DISKLESS ┊ ┊ ┊ ┊ false ┊ Ok ┊ ┊ drbdpool ┊ vm-box-4 ┊ LVM_THIN ┊ vg_vm-box-4/drbdpool ┊ 297.99 GiB ┊ 300 GiB ┊ true ┊ Ok ┊ ╰─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯ moving a drive to drbdpool increases nodes' IO enormously while nothing seems to be going on (well, the disk seems to be moving but VERY slow). The log displays just this w/o any progress, so I had to stop the disk moving: create full clone of drive scsi0 (LVM-Storage:126/vm-126-disk-0.qcow2) trying to acquire cfs lock 'storage-drbdpool' ... transferred: 0 bytes remaining: 10739277824 bytes total: 10739277824 bytes progression: 0.00 % Did I miss something in the linstor configuration? PS Am I correct that redundancy should be kept as 2 (in /etc/pve/storage.cfg) when only two nodes have drbd storage backends? -- Best regards, Alex Kolesnik _______________________________________________ Star us on GITHUB: https://github.com/LINBIT drbd-user mailing list drbd-user@lists.linbit.com https://lists.linbit.com/mailman/listinfo/drbd-user
