I'm setting up a DRBD on a 2 node HA cluster.  The DRBD is configured 
and appears to be
running as expected. After the resync completed I created an ext3 
filesystem on my primary node and
mounted /dev/drbd1.

It's not clear to me that this is allowed but I tried to mount the file 
system on my secondary node (read-only)
and the mount fails. Should I be able to do this?

Thank you.
