In my production environment I have an Apache ActiveMQ Artemis 2.6.0 setup with a pair of servers configured for high availability (HA) replication. Both instances have a disk attached for the data/journal directory.
For disaster recovery (DR) I have a similar setup in a separate region.
The primary disk in the primary region has a secondary disk replicated via GCP's cross-region replication (GXP) that is replicating data on the disk and is consistent with primary. This secondary disk is intended to be mounted on the DR region's master instance during a failover.
However, there are messages missing after DR disk attachment. When I attach the replicated disk to the DR master instance I can see the queues and the disk size matches the primary setup. The AMQ journal files are also present in the journal directory. However, the messages are missing.
Is there a reason why the data is not seen in my DR instance though the data set size matches and queues exist?

This value was determined through a calculation.
Your system could perform 50 writes per millisecond
on the current journal configuration.
That translates as a sync write every 20000 nanoseconds.
Note: If you specify 0 the system will perform writes directly to the disk.
We recommend this to be 0 if you are using journalType=MAPPED and ournal-datasync=false.
