drbd: fix confusing error message during attach 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>
