Lars,

Appreciate the reply.

I realized I should not have formatted my new raided drives
before adding them to drbd. Anyhow, as I mentioned in my post,
I did do a full resync afterwords (it was automatic). So now my
drbd mirror is functioning well with 450G size on 750G
capacity physical disks. The device is named drbd0. 

Should I now call drbdadm resize on both machines and then do
resize_reiserfs drbd0 on both machines? When doing filesystem
resize do I still have to specify a size 128M less than the disk
capacity?
