drbd wont allow the drbd device on the secondary drbd server to be used. you'll probably get something like media errors back when you try to mount or otherwise use the device. only the primary can be used. so if you want to mount this on the secondary, you need to promote it to primary (which will demote the current primary) and then mount the volume. this will then mean the volume cant be mounted on the now old primary. mike Alan Cowes wrote: > > Hello Mike!, > > > > Well let me tell you... that fixed the problem!
