Be this I meaned to avoid the freeze as it seems to be due to a timeout in
the communication protocol.
As I am using the sync option on my partition will the A protocol avoid that
?

This is a redhat 6.2 with the 2.2.14-12 kernel, I am using drbd 0.5.5

or was it completely frozen?
It was a complete freeze ... I don't have the magic keys enable in the
kernel so I can't tell you more
> What protocol was used?
Protocol B
> Any messages in syslog?
accept failed -512
ack timeout detected (normal the other side is down)
accept failed -512
At reboot :
set_blocksize : b_count 1, dev drbd(43,0), block 851968!

ext2

I noticed too that after I was enable to reconnect my two nodes .. I was
able to have two slave
1 slave 1 master but in this case the slave was not connected
(a WFconnection on the master and unconnected on the slave - from memory)
I had to mkfs.ext2 the underlying partition on the slave, reboot both to be
able to use mkfs on my /dev/nb0 again ..
I am installing a production mail server tommorrow using drbd to replicate
on a auxiliary server with some piece of
script to takeover and swap service. Any information before I do the switch
?
