Hello Lars, I read the README and INSTALL files on the drbd package. I also take a loot at the upgrades documents and also the drbd.conf example. Well... From what i understand, the hda7 for example is the lower level device... where the data will be stored. I saw that after setup... we have to mount the /dev/drbdX ... thats ok! the /dev/drbdX is the block device... that will be resposable to transfer the data between the 2 nodes.... Well.... here is my setup : Slackware 9.0 Node 1 - I will use /dev/drbd1 --> /dev/hda7 Node 2 - /dev/drbd1 --> /dev/hda7 Well .... from what i understand .... i have to mknod the block device... set the drbd.conf file on both computers... and then start it out. The low device /dev/hda7 dont have to be mounted right ? only formated. Well ... i will make it now on the afternoon.... i will start it from 0 ... will make the linux installation ... and follow the steps from the docs... I´ll send more questions after i try it again!
