Assuming that you do _not_ have your backing device mounted already, chances are that you are attempting to mount by filesystem UUID, which will be identical on both DRBD and its backing device. Thus mount finds the backing device's UUID first; then attempts to mount the backing device, which fails because the backing device is already bd_claim()'ed by DRBD. In reality you want to mount the DRBD device. Can't tell for sure if that is your real issue, though; you didn't share your fstab. Workaround for that would be to mount by device, rather than filesystem UUID. hth, Florian -- : Florian G.
