**** after a reboot of my secondary server (replicate) i get secondary/primary in /proc/drbd. Isn't supposed to be secondary/secondary ? No, it will pop back on as the secondary just as you would expect. However, if there was a heartbeat failover, heartbeat will set the secondary to primary and the failed server will come back up as the secondary. **** NFS works, i got the share working but i am lost with something about the failover. on the primary server, i got /dev/drbd0 mounted as /share/spool0/data/ which i share then... but this directory doesn't exists in the secondary server (I followed an how-to) i guess i should create it and tell heartbeat to mount automaticaly the file and share it then, i don't really know if this theory is good, sounds logical to me. The drbd device will only be usable if the original fails and the secondary is set to primary. If they were both writable/readable you would get out of sync and have corrupt data, therefore only the partition on the primary can be mounted. Read this doc: http://www.linux-ha.com/DataRedundancyByDrbd Pay special attention to the section called Unattended Mode which shows how to do an automated failover and mount using drbd and heartbeat. ________________________________________ Chip Burke ________________________________________ -----Original Message----- From: drbd-user-bounces at lists.linbit.com [mailto:drbd-user-bounces at lists.linbit.com] On Behalf Of Pierre Ancelot Sent: Monday, January 09, 2006 12:06 PM To: drbd-user at linbit.com Subject: [DRBD-user] A few questions :) Hi everyone, here are a few questions. I have setup drbd/nfs/heartbeat but for example, after a reboot of my secondary server (replicate) i get secondary/primary in /proc/drbd. Isn't supposed to be secondary/secondary ? NFS works, i got the share working but i am lost with something about the failover. on the primary server, i got /dev/drbd0 mounted as /share/spool0/data/ which i share then... but this directory doesn't exists in the secondary server (I followed an how-to) i guess i should create it and tell heartbeat to mount automaticaly the file and share it then, i don't really know if this theory is good, sounds logical to me.
