Hi,

I'm trying to make a filesystem on top of a drbd device, but the mkfs 
process never finish. Its the same with mkreiserfs and mkfs.xfs. I tried 
to make a 10G drbd device and it works, but its not working with devices 
larger than 25G.

The last mkreiserfs message is:
"ATTENTION: YOU SHOULD REBOOT AFTER FDISK!
        ALL DATA WILL BE LOST ON '/dev/drbd0'!
Continue (y/n):y
Initializing journal - 0%....20%....40%....60%....80%....100%
"

Its possible to mount the faulty created filesystem, but fsck.reiserfs 
suggests to run --rebuild-tree. --rebuild-tree also results in an 
"uninterruptible sleep" process.

Drbd 0.7 don't make a difference. Creating a filesystem directly on the 
raid without drbd works fine.

specs:

Thanks you for your help!
