Mailing List Archive: slight error in DRBD manual (Data rebalancing)

Hi all,

not sure where to report this.

In the DRBD 9 manual, in '5.20. Data Rebalancing', the last two steps are
- editing the config to rename on the the hosts to 'for-later-rebalancing'
- copying the config to all involved servers
- drbdadm adjust resource
- taking down the resource on the no longer needed host

This last 'drbdadm down <resource>' must be done _before_ changing the config on that host - otherwise "<resource> not defined in your config (for this host)" :-)

Cheers,
Thomas

Thanks for reporting this, Thomas. Commit
9c440618d3a5a3605fc5d33ceae837f742b2f600 to
https://github.com/LINBIT/linbit-documentation should fix this and the
HTML version of the _DRBD 9 User's Guide_
(https://linbit.com/drbd-user-guide/drbd-guide-9_0-en/#s-cleaning_up)
now has the corrected command.

A team member alerted me that this section
(https://linbit.com/drbd-user-guide/drbd-guide-9_0-en/#s-cleaning_up)
should have shown a `drbdsetup` command rather than `drbdadm` command.
This is because you cannot use `drbdadm` to down a resource that is no
longer in the configuration file for that host.

Glad that you were able to work around this and thanks for reporting.
Credit to you was mentioned in the commit message.

LINBIT team members monitor this list for documentation and other issue
reporting, or you can report documentation issues by opening an issue in
the `linbit-documentation` GitHub repository

Thanks again.

Michael.
