direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.


Hi there,

if you use internal metadata, drbd will store some information at the end of 
your partition so you need to shrink the filesystem first. Or, if you do NOT 
have already important data on the underlying blockdevice (md0), 
format /dev/drbd0. 

See http://wiki.linux-ha.org/DRBD_2fQuickStart07.
