Hello, I'm using DRBD 8.3.2 on RHEL 5.2 (x86_64). I've sucessfully create two DRBD devices, /dev/drbd1 and /dev/drbd2 (drbd.conf below). I'm trying to use them as physical volumes for LVM, as described in the "Configuring a DRBD resource as a Physical Volume" section of the user guide. But pvcreate fails: pssrv101:103% sudo pvcreate -ff /dev/drbd1 Device /dev/drbd1 not found (or ignored by filtering). pssrv101:104% sudo pvcreate -ff /dev/drbd2 Device /dev/drbd2 not found (or ignored by filtering). pssrv101:106% sudo pvcreate -ff /dev/drbd/by-res/r1 Device /dev/drbd/by-res/r1 not found (or ignored by filtering). pssrv101:107% sudo pvcreate -ff /dev/drbd/by-res/r2 Device /dev/drbd/by-res/r2 not found (or ignored by filtering). The DRBD volumes are certainly present: pssrv101:112% ls /dev/drbd* /dev/drbd1 /dev/drbd2 /dev/drbd: by-disk/ by-res/ pssrv101:115% cat /proc/drbd `GIT-hash: dd7985327f146f33b86d4bff5ca8c94234ce840e build by phil at fat-tyre, 2009-07-03 15:35:39 1: cs:WFConnection ro:Secondary/Unknown ds:Inconsistent/DUnknown C r---- ns:0 nr:0 dw:0 dr:0 al:0 bm:0 lo:0 pe:0 ua:0 ap:0 ep:1 wo:b oos:975555468 2: cs:WFConnection ro:Secondary/Unknown ds:Inconsistent/DUnknown C r---- ns:0 nr:0 dw:0 dr:0 al:0 bm:0 lo:0 pe:0 ua:0 ap:0 ep:1 wo:b oos:1951110976 I'd be grateful for any assistance David Simas SLAC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ global { usage-count no; } common { protocol C; } resource r1 { device /dev/drbd1; disk /dev/sdc; meta-disk internal; on pssrv101 { address 192.168.254.101:7791; } on pssrv102 { address 192.168.254.102:7791; } } resource r2 { device /dev/drbd2; disk /dev/sdd; meta-disk internal; on pssrv101 { address 192.168.254.101:7792; } on pssrv102 { address 192.168.254.102:7792; } }
