The examples below are done on an environment where drbd volume resides on lvm logical volume and the filesystem is reiserfs.
a. If you want to shrink it, you will have to reduce first the filesystem on the primary node then the logical volume on both nodes. Afterwards you execute the resize command for drbd on primary node.
Be careful, in order to shrink the filesystem, you will have to umount it and obviously to stop the services before that (nfs, apache, etc.).
Primary node:
umount /nfs resize_reiserfs -s5G /dev/drbd0
Both nodes:
lvresize -L5G /dev/nfsvg/nfs
Primary node:
drbdadm resize nfs
b. On grow operation, you have to increase first the logical volume on both nodes, then increase the drbd volume and filesystem on primary node.
This operation can be done while filesystem is up and running, at least with reiserfs. Regarding other filesystem types, check the documentation first.
Both nodes:
lvresize -L20G /dev/nfsvg/nfs
Primary node:
drbdadm resize nfs
Primary node:
resize_reiserfs -s20G /dev/drbd0
Below you have the output of the operations, as example, if needed.
