Hi all,
I'm using drbd 8.0.4 from a Debian Package from Lenny (testing), and I
think drbd has some problems handling long names for backend devices.
I'm using a LVM volume "/dev/storage/drbd-backups-from-jeroen" for my
resource "backups-jeroen" and drbd seems to get confused by the long
device name:
> $ drbdadm up backups-jeroen
> Failure: (104) Can not open backing device.
> Command 'drbdsetup /dev/drbd1 disk
> /dev/storage/drbd-backups-from-jeroen
> /dev/storage/drbd-backups-from-jeroen internal --set-defaults
> --create-device --on-io-error=detach' terminated with exit code 10
And:
> $ ls -la /dev/storage/drbd-backups-from-jeroen
> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 47 2008-01-06 14:31
> /dev/storage/drbd-backups-from-jeroen ->
> /dev/mapper/storage-drbd--backups--from--jeroen
Now check the output of dmesg:
> $ dmesg
> drbd: initialised. Version: 8.0.4 (api:86/proto:86)

The last line is the one worrying me: it seems like drbd has some
difficulties with managing it's memory? Would there exist a worst case
scenario where one would end up using a wrong device as backend? I'd
like to hear your thoughts!
Cheers,
