<DIV>Hello Lars,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I read the README and INSTALL files on the drbd package.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I also take a loot at the upgrades documents and also the drbd.conf example.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Well... From what i understand, the hda7 for example is the lower level device... where the data will be stored.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I saw that after setup... we have to mount the /dev/drbdX ... thats ok!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>the /dev/drbdX is the block device... that will be resposable to transfer the data between the 2 nodes....</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Well.... here is my setup :</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Slackware 9.0</DIV>
<DIV>Node 1 - I will use /dev/drbd1 --> /dev/hda7</DIV>
<DIV>Node 2 - /dev/drbd1 --> /dev/hda7</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Well .... from what i understand .... i have to mknod the block device... set the drbd.conf file on both computers... and then start it out.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The low device /dev/hda7 dont have to be mounted right ? only formated.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Well ... i will make it now on the afternoon.... i will start it from 0 ... will make the linux installation ... and follow the steps from the docs...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>IŽll send more questions after i try it again!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
