Hello everyone,

Our setup: CentOS 5 (kernel 2.6.18-53), Heartbeat heartbeat-2.1.2-3.el5.centos, DRBD drbd-8.0.6-1.el5.centos

We are running into a problem with getting the master DRBD resource to stick on a node it has failed onto. We have a simple 2 node cluster for demonstration of the issue, halinux1 and halinux2, with a single DRBD resource. What we are seeing is halinux2 selected as the Master node for DRBD on heartbeat startup, halinux1 as the slave. When halinux2 is placed into standby, the halinux1 is promoted to DRBD master as expected. When halinux2 is taken out of standby mode, halinux1 is demoted to secondary and halinux2 is promoted to master. We don't want this failback action. We want the DRBD master to stay on whatever node it is on unless there is a failure requiring it to move. We have default-resource-stickiness set to "infinity" in our cib.xml file. I repeated this experiment with a single IP address resource (no DRBD), and the stickiness of infinity worked exactly as expected: the IP stayed on whatever node it was on unless there was a failure (or standby mode) on the local node requiring the IP to move, so that was a positive confirmation that outside of our testing with DRBD, the stickiness of infinity works. We would very much appreciate suggestions on how we might go about resolving this issue.

Here is the cib.xml file:
