I tried this on a demo setup but it doesn't work like this.
Everything looks okay until i do the 'drbdadm up' command
I get the following error:
# drbdadm up r0
0: Failure: (111) Low.dev. smaller than requested DRBD-dev. size.
Command 'drbdsetup 0 disk /dev/md0 /dev/sda6 0 --set-defaults
--create-device --on-io-error=detach' terminated with exit code 10
Is there a way to fix this?
Kind regards,
Caspar Smit
