Prior to DRBD 8.4, if you wanted drbdadm
to pass special options through to
drbdsetup
, you had to use the arcane -- --<option>
syntax, as in the
following example:
Pre-DRBD 8.4 drbdadm
pass-through options.
drbdadm -- --discard-my-data connect <resource>
Instead, drbdadm
now accepts those pass-through options as normal options:
DRBD 8.4 drbdadm
pass-through options.
drbdadm connect --discard-my-data <resource>
![]() | Note |
---|---|
The old syntax is still supported, but its use is strongly
discouraged. However, if you choose to use the new, more
straightforward syntax, you must specify the option

The --overwrite-data-of-peer
option is no longer present in DRBD
8.4. It has been replaced by the simpler --force
. Thus, to kick off
an initial resource synchronization, you no longer use the following
command:
Pre-DRBD 8.4 initial sync drbdadm
commands.
drbdadm -- --overwrite-data-of-peer primary <resource>
Use the command below instead:
DRBD 8.4 initial sync drbdadm
commands.
drbdadm primary --force <resource>
