There are a number of potential problems here...
- You will need to restart the fileserver in order to get it to notice a vice partition that was not there when it started.
Ok, I'd found that bit in the docs, but it's good to get confirmation.
- You will need to resync the VLDB against the "new" partition in order
to get it to notice that the volumes have moved. Use a command like
# vos syncvldb -server emperor -partition /vicepa
Aha! The black-magic incantation I need to recite under a full moon when
the planets are aligned... :-D Thanks!
- The bosserver can tell when the fileserver has not shut down cleanly,
and will force a full salvage of all partitions in that case. However,
it cannot tell when a particular partition was last used on a fileserver
that was shut down uncleanly. So, if you want the salvage to happen,
you will need to trigger it manually. Note that a full-partition
salvage will normally require shutting down the fileserver.
Ok, this I can handle. However, I have one more question. Since DRBD already does my unclean-shutdown detection for me, I don't want the fileserver to force a salvage in the following circumstance:
Server A Server B
[Running] [Running]
[Dies]
[Takes over /vicepa]
[Salvages /vicepa]
[Started]
[Takes over /vicepa]
[Salvages everything] <== This is a duplicateIs there any file I can delete before starting the bosserver to indicate that all filesystems it finds are already clean?
