Yeah , I still don't have output from /etc/init.d/drbd start .......All
it says is "Starting DRBD resource : "<br>
.....and that's it .<br>
<br>
/etc/init.d/drbd start ( and insmod drbd ) creates /dev/nbd/0 ......
but when I try mkfs -t ext3 /dev/nbd/0 ,<br>
I get :<br>
<br>
Device size reported to be zero . Invalid partition specified , or
partition table wasn't reread after<br>
running fdisk , due to a modified partition being busy and in use .
You may need to reboot to re-read <br>
your partition table .<br>

The DRBD module is called "drbd". Once you modprobe this /dev/drbdX
devices will appear (and you should be able to cat /proc/drbd)

There should be quite a bit of output (assuming you are physically at
the machine).

After you modprobe the "drbd" module and set the resource(s) of one
machine to the "primary" state, you should be able to create the
filesystem.
You didn't mention what version of DRBD you are running, but you might
find this useful:
