[DRBD-user] perhaps a better error message?

Note: "permalinks" may not be as permanent as we would like,
direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.


Just playing with trying to add a 3rd drbd device into the config and I 
get the message:

   can not open device: No such device or address

The question is of course... which device? - at the point where this 
message is generated, either drbdadm or the  device driver knows which 
device it was accessing... but I dont.

It might have been /dev/nb2 or /dev/drbd2 or the /dev/base/cnr lvm2 
device ... but perhaps not - since I have manually added all of them. 
Now I'm a bit lost trying to determine which device node the error 
message is referring to.  Ideas ? (assuming drbd allows more than 2 
devices to be replicated to other systems)
