[DRBD-user] tough mount problem in fstab, help!

[Gary Baker]

Dong,

don't mess with the fstab!

I got around this by creating a symbolic link in /var that points to
the drbd partition.

On Master, with drbd running:
1. create 'www' directory on /drbd partition
2.  move /var/www/ directory to /drbd/www/ directory
3. create www link in /var that points to /drbd/www/
On Slave:
1. create www link that points to /drbd/www/

link will work when drbd is in primary.

Hi,
I am trying to build up a cluster system.
'/var/www' is the only directory in '/var' that I want to duplicate
through drbd.
Other directories in '/var' should beremained unchanged.
My question is:1. I should add such line in fstab:/dev/nb0      
/var/www  defaults,noauto          0 0, 
but should I remove the old line:LABEL=/var     /var      ext3    
defaults        1 22.
 If remove the old line, many other services will stop working on the
slave machine since they access the /var whichis not mounted.
Thanks a lot!
