I have a DRBD setup that needs to be uninstalled. The DRBD system crashed a while ago after having too many split-brains, right now the master server (virtual machine) is running my asterisk phone service as a standalone. The server in question is running asterisk a2billing database which was initially mirrored between two servers: a master and a slave. I want the DRBD on the master server to be completely uninstalled without data loss. At the end of this project, I expect the services on this server to continue running as normal with no trace of DRBD.

Hi, I am experienced linux systems administrator. I have dealt with several scenarios using drbd (including removing it). I can handle this task.

I'm a system administrator working with high-traffic, high-availability websites. We use DRBD extensively for virtual machines and databases. We had to deal with split-brain many times before. I can remove DRBD for you fast and effectively.

This bid is based on the following assumptions - please clarify if they are incorrect: 1. That you are currently directly using an LVM volume or a raw block device, and it is okay to keep that block device as is. 2. That you are either using external DRBD metadata, or you are using internal DRBD metadata and are happy for the DRBD metadata to remain at the end of the volume where it will take up a small amount of space but will not cause any harm. My quote is to reconfigure the system so it will directly mount the DRBD backing device without going through DRBD, but does not include any work to resize the filesystem currently running on top of DRBD to allow it to make use of the extra space currently used for DRBD internal metadata (if applicable). A resize will sometimes be possible (depending on the filesystem), but I don't recommend doing the resize because the amount of disk space wasted is usually small, and resizing filesystems does not always work reliably, so it would require having another disk volume available for backing up all data on the disk. This change will require a short downtime for any services that have files open / mapped on the DRDB volume, while the DRDB disk is unmounted and the backing device is mounted directly.
