My mistake ... somewhere in all the tinkering I put the file system on the lower level device instead of the /dev/nb0 one. drbr then trashed the last bit of the file system (as it should) and when I mounted it via /dev/nb0 ext3 got a lot upset. FYI. somewhere in the recent changes for 'run_queue' you have made it work on raid1 devices again... thanks Ron Lars Ellenberg wrote: >On Tue, May 04, 2004 at 12:12:10PM +0000, Ron O'Hara wrote: > > >>A quick question about meta-disk internal in 0.7 ... >> >>If I have a device (/dev/md5) of 500Mb do I have to deliberately make >>the file system (ext3) smaller by the 128Mb of the meta-disk ? >> >> > >Yes. >Though, if you mkfs /dev/nbd/X, which is what you should do, >the mkfs already sees the correct disksize, and will behave correctly. > >So to setup a NEW filesystem on top of drbd, >I recommend to write the config file, then > drbdadm up your-resource > drbdadm primary your-resource > mkfs -t whatever [... parameters ...] /dev/nbd/X > >If you want to put DRBD below an *existing* filesystem, >and you want *internal* meta data, you have to resize (shrink) the >filesystem first. > > Lars Ellenberg >_______________________________________________ >drbd-user mailing list >drbd-user at lists.linbit.com >http://lists.linbit.com/mailman/listinfo/drbd-user > >
