Did you try VDO in sync-mode for the case the flush-fua
stuff isn't working through the layers?
Did you check that VDO-service is disabled and solely under
pacemaker-control and that the dependencies are set correctly?

Are you sure that the DRBD is working properly ?

    Okay, it turns out I was wrong. I thought I had it working, but I
    keep running into problems. Sometimes when I demote a DRBD
    resource on Node A and promote it on Node B, and I try to mount
    the filesystem, the system complains that it cannot read the
    superblock. But when I move the DRBD primary back to Node A, the
    file system is mountable again. Also, I have problems with
    filesystems not mounting because the vdo devices are not present.
    All kinds of issues.

    Okay, I have it working now. The default systemd service
    definitions did not work, so I created my own.

    There is no VDO RA according to my knowledge, but you can use
    systemd service as a resource.

    Yet, the VDO service that comes with thr OS is a generic one and
    controlls all VDOs - so you need to create your own vdo service.

        I created the VDO volumes fine on the drbd devices, formatted
        them as xfs filesystems, created cluster filesystem resources,
        and the cluster us using them. But the cluster won’t fail
        over. Is there a VDO cluster RA out there somewhere already?

        For DRBD there is enough info, so let's focus on VDO.

        There is a systemd service that starts all VDOs on the system.
        You can create the VDO once drbs is open for writes and then
        you can create your own systemd '.service' file which can be
        used as a cluster resource.
