Hi,

I'm struggling with the totally incompressible and badly worded error messages in DRBD !

8.4.4-1ubuntu1 (as bundled with Ubuntu 14.04LTS)

I have tried a million different styles of config file writing and none of them work !  All of them generate the stupid error message above that doesn't tell me anything.

The nearest thing I've found to an answer on Google is a smug post in 2009 from someone who told someone else "Well, "resource" is not defined in your config, but "r0" is. Try that 
instead :)"  .... well that's a silly answer that doesn't tell me anything either !

So please, could someone tell me what I should be doing to make this work.

And yes, uname -n does return "XXX-vm02-bk01" and "XXX-vm02-bk01".  

Thank you !

Tim
