If we attach a (consistent) backing device, which knows about a last-agreed effective size, and that effective size is *larger* than the currently requested size, we refused to attach with ERR_DISK_TOO_SMALL Failure: (111) Low.dev. smaller than requested DRBD-dev. size. which is confusing to say the least. This patch changes the error code in that case to ERR_IMPLICIT_SHRINK Failure: (170) Implicit device shrinking not allowed. See kernel log. additional info from kernel: To-be-attached device has last effective > current size, and is consistent (9999 > 7777 sectors). Refusing to attach. It also allows to attach with an explicit size. Signed-off-by: Lars Ellenberg <lars.ellenberg@linbit.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
