Update on this. After making changes to the lvm.conf I haven't had an issue with resource definitions repopulating after a restart.
Specifically what I did was add , "r|/dev/drbd|", "r|.*/vm-.*|" to the global_filter so that LVM would no longer attempt to scan any of the DRBD block devices nor the LVs backing them. Thanks again for the help :) -----Original Message----- From: drbd-user-boun...@lists.linbit.com [mailto:drbd-user-boun...@lists.linbit.com] On Behalf Of Nicholas Morton Sent: Saturday, March 30, 2019 8:30 PM To: drbd-user@lists.linbit.com Subject: Re: [DRBD-user] Missing Linstor/DRBD resource files after reboot I believe I may have discovered the cause of my problem. I rebooted one of the servers and of course it only had 13 of 28 resources repopulated in /var/lib/linstor.d/ The Linstor controller didn't produce any errors, but the satellite made 88 error reports. Almost every single error was related to linstor running "vgs" and it timing out. --cut-- Description: Failed to verify volume group name Cause: External command timed out Additional information: External command: vgs -o vg_name --noheadings --cut-- A quick google search for slow vgs respone lead me to "vgs -vvv" and I found that when the LVM was scanning for physical devices it was getting hung up on a drbd device. root@vmhost5:~# vgs -vvv --cut-- /dev/sde1: Skipping (regex) /dev/sdf: Skipping (regex) /dev/sdg: Skipping (regex) /dev/drbd1000: open failed: Wrong medium type /dev/drbd1000: Skipping: open failed Opened /dev/drbd1001 RO O_DIRECT /dev/drbd1001: size is 134221744 sectors --cut-- There was a long pause on screen between the line skipping /dev/sdg and /dev/drbd1000 open failed I've added "r|/dev/drbd*|" to my lvm.conf filter and will be working on tuning it further. I hope/believe that will solve my issue. After a few days and some testing, I'll report my results. Running vgs didn't take particularly long, so I don't think the linstor-satellite timeout period is very long.
