Hi Sebastian,

Thanks for looking into this.

We don't use the Pacemaker and output of the command "crm status" as below:
[root@ ~]# crm status
-bash: crm: command not found

And output of the command "lsof | grep <mount_point>".

[root@ ~]# cat /proc/mounts | grep -i drbd
[root@ ~]#


Regards,
Dileep
