The That doesn't compute. If you detach the local disk from a standalone DRBD, you have no access to any data. You have to disconnect and then cause split brain by promoting your new StandAlone Secondary. If you have a "snapshottable" backing device (e.g. LVM), you can use a snapshot to even avoid split brain, but there are performance implications. > thought is to try reduce the re-establish time to the extent possible!! If you get the split-brain resolution right, re-establishing is about instantaneous. Of course, the changes have to be undone by syncing back from the Primary, but that happens transparently. > Will give it a try today - meanwhile any ideas will be highly appreciated. Needless to say: From the time of disconnection until everything is finished and your nodes are back in sync, you loose all redundancy. If the Primary dies now, you're screwed pretty thoroughly.
