I have a cluster running drbd which I would like to add an additional drbd
filesystem to.  I have added the necessary configuration information to
/etc/drbd.conf and ran drbdadm dump without errors to verify it.  When I try
to start the resource I get the following error:

[root at pinky etc]# drbdadm up r3
can not open /dev/drbd3: No such device
Command '/sbin/drbdsetup /dev/drbd3 disk /dev/vg00/vicepb
/dev/vg00/drbd_meta_3 0 --on-io-error=detach' terminated with exit code 20
drbdadm aborting

I see /dev/drbd3 in the /dev/ directory:

[root at pinky etc]# ls -l /dev/drbd*

What am I doing wrong?
