<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I am using drbd-0.7.0-59.22 (the default)
with SLES 9. The linux kernel version is 2.6.5-7.97 which is the default
kernel bundled with this distro.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I am using a 2-node cluster, /dev/sdb1
is the partition on both nodes, the partition is kept to the same size
on both nodes (verified using parted) and ext3 is the fs-type I created
on both nodes.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I could - using "drbdadm --
--do-what-I-say primary all" make one of the nodes primary, the other
automatically syncs up as a secondary and the syncing goes on fine with
pleasing messages in /proc/drbd and /var/log/messages.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Since this is an older drbd version
, it still borrows the /dev/nbd0 major device no. I tried to search all
available documentation but this is still unclear to me :</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">1. After "insmod drbd.ko"
and "drbdadm up all" (which I do instead of /etc/init.d/drbd
start) - shouldn't I be able to see the lower device mounted?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The drbd.conf details for the nodes
are :</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">resource drbd0 {</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> protocol C;</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> on node1 {</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> device
/dev/nb0;</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> disk
/dev/sdb1;</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">
meta-disk internal;</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> }</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">//similar for node2</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">My problem is that I am not able to
see /dev/nb0 mounted in /proc/mounts or via the mount command. If I try
to mount it via : "mount /dev/nb0 /mnt1" or something like that,
it obvoiously cribs that the device is already in use. Since I already
started drbd.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I initially had a line in /etc/fstab
which specified /dev/nb0 to be mounted on /mnt1 with the "noauto"
option, but later removed it, since I want to try out drbd first without
heartbeat or anything else. Both cases produced the same problem.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Can anyone clarify this? </font>
<br>
