crm_mon 2.x formats the Promoted line as " * Promoted: [ node ]" — the
asterisk bullet means the previous grep -E '^\s*(Promoted|Masters):' never
matched, so active-node detection silently returned empty in health.sh,
failover.sh, and acceptance-tests.sh.
Fix: pipe through grep -v Unpromoted first, then grep -E '(Promoted|Masters):'
without anchoring to start-of-line.
Also: remove the SSH_OPTS=-i ~/.ssh/... variable pattern in health.sh and
failover.sh; tilde is not expanded inside double-quoted strings, so $SSH_OPTS
was passing a literal ~ to SSH. Inline the key path in each function
definition instead (same as acceptance-tests.sh already did).
Also: drop the 2>/dev/null embedded in the crm_mon argument string — the
outer 2>/dev/null on the n1/n2 call already suppresses SSH stderr; the
embedded one was harmless but noisy to reason about.

cluster-init.sh: replace the fixed 300-iteration sync wait with an
indefinite loop that prints an in-place progress line (%done, ETA, speed)
from /proc/drbd every 3 s. Clears the line with printf \r before logging
completion, so the output stays clean alongside the [cluster-init] log
lines.
acceptance-tests.sh: add a pre-flight check that hard-exits if
drbdadm dstate is not UpToDate/UpToDate, with a hint to the watch
command for monitoring progress. Tests cannot give accurate results
while the initial full-sync is in progress.

acceptance-tests.sh: replace drbdadm-role-based Active node detection with
crm_mon-based detection. DRBD role briefly reads Secondary during Pacemaker
transitions, causing T2/T3/T4 to target the wrong node. crm_mon Promoted:/
Masters: lines are authoritative; wait up to 90 s for Pacemaker to settle
before falling back to NODE1.
cluster-init.sh: add crm_resource --cleanup before the VIP wait loop so
stale migration-threshold failure counters from previous cluster-init runs
are cleared before Pacemaker decides resource placement.

cluster-init.sh: replace 'drbdadm create-md --force' with direct drbdmeta
calls using --force on both steps. drbdadm create-md --force passes --force
to the create-md sub-call but NOT to write-dev-uuid, which then fails when
/dev/sdb is busy and stdin is not a TTY ("stdin not a TTY, not waiting for
confirmation" → exit 20). write-dev-uuid failing means DRBD has no UUID,
so the peer can't identify the device → connection fails → no sync → wrong
Active node detected by acceptance tests.
acceptance-tests.sh T4: grep -c returns exit code 1 when the count is 0
(no matches), triggering '|| echo "0"' and producing "0\n0" which breaks
[[ "$IQN_COUNT" -ge 1 ]] with "arithmetic syntax error". Fixed by running
the pipe inside bash -c with '|| true' on the grep to suppress the
non-zero exit code. Same fix applied to T5's IQN_ON_STANDBY check.

Deploy/init fixes:
- iscsi-target.nix: targetctl binary is in rtslib-fb (python3 env), not
targetcli-fb — fixes ExecStart and ExecStop for the targetctl.service
- deploy.sh: _patch_targetctl() applies runtime dropin to both nodes before
cluster-init so Pacemaker can manage the iSCSI target from first start
- cluster-init.sh: replace crm configure heredoc with cibadmin --replace XML
(pacemaker-4.0 schema: globally-unique in meta_attributes, promoted-max/
promoted-node-max, Promoted role in constraints); force_unmount=true on
xfs-data; DRBD promote timeout 240s
- cluster-config.nix: add crm-fence-peer.sh/crm-unfence-peer.sh handlers;
update fencing comment to reflect resource-only + Pacemaker-aware handler
replacing STONITH during testing phase
- ha-server.nix: add openiscsi to systemPackages for T4 iscsiadm availability
Acceptance test fixes:
- acceptance-tests.sh: fix ((PASS++)) set -e bug → PASS=$((PASS+1));
detect Active/Standby dynamically via drbdadm role (Pacemaker can promote
either node); T4 bash TCP probe instead of iscsiadm; T5 timeout 120s;
T6 echo|sudo tee for root-owned XFS write (bash -c redirect runs as nixos
not sudo — permission denied); use ns cat / ns rm for root-owned reads

Root SSH was failing because only the RSA admin key was authorized but the
local dev box only has an ed25519 key. Fix:
- cluster-config.nix: add ed25519 keys to root (same set as nixos user) so
future deployments work without the temp-key workaround
- deploy.sh/acceptance-tests.sh: SSH as nixos user with sudo instead of root@
- cluster-init.sh: HA_USER/HA_KEY env vars + n2_ssh()/n2_scp() helpers so
inter-node SSH works regardless of whether root-to-root is available
- deploy.sh Phase 6: generate temp keypair, authorize on node2, place on node1
for root to use during cluster-init, clean up afterward

- Add root SSH key + passwordless sudo to ha-server nodes (needed for
deploy script to run cluster-init.sh via SSH as root on node1)
- Fix cluster-init.sh: correct default IPs (228/227/229 per variables.nix),
use \${VAR:-default} for all config so deploy.sh can override via env
- Fix acceptance-tests.sh: same IP corrections, add -i flag to SSH calls,
use \${VAR:-default} pattern
- Fix deploy.sh dry-run bugs: pve_check() always runs SSH for read-only
probes so bridge existence check is accurate; wait_for_ssh skips in
dry-run instead of timing out
- Fix cluster-init invocation: upload script via scp and run via SSH as
root on node1 (was incorrectly trying to run the script locally)
- Fix acceptance-tests invocation: pass IP env vars from deploy.sh

Adds proxmox-ha-server-1 and proxmox-ha-server-2 as real mkTarget entries
alongside the existing proxmox-server, backed by a new ha-server build type.
New modules
modules/ha/cluster-config.nix — DRBD resource + corosync nodelist sourced
from vars (haServer1Host/Ip, haServer2Host/Ip); resource-only fencing for
production STONITH; HA port firewall rules for DRBD, iSCSI, Corosync, pcsd
modules/build-types/ha-server.nix — imports pacemaker-stack + iscsi-target
+ cluster-config + beszel; NFS exports from vars.haStorageRoot (XFS-over-DRBD
mount); nfs-server.service.wantedBy force-cleared so Pacemaker controls
start/stop on the Active node only
New hosts
hosts/ha-server-{1,2}/host.nix — static IP from vars, unique hostId; sops
secrets (beszel, corosync authkey) are TODOs pending sync-host-keys.sh
variables.nix
haServer1/2Host, haServer1/2Ip, haServerVip, haStorageRoot, haIscsiIqn
ports.haServerDrbd/Iscsi/Corosync{1,2,Crypto}/PacemakerRemoted/Pcsd
scripts/ha/ (migrated + updated from test-lab/ha/)
cluster-init.sh — generates corosync authkey, initialises DRBD/XFS/iSCSI,
creates NFS dataset dirs, configures Pacemaker with DRBD + XFS + iSCSI
+ nfs-server + VIP; STONITH disabled initially (enable separately)
cluster-enable-stonith.sh — enables fence_pve_ssh STONITH after key deploy
fence-pve-ssh.py — Proxmox SSH fence agent (node names updated to ha-server-1/2)
acceptance-tests.sh — T1–T7 production acceptance tests
test-lab/ha/ removed — all Nix config moved to modules/ha/ and
modules/build-types/; scripts moved to scripts/ha/
