list,</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=825171614-19012005><FONT face="Courier New">
<FONT size=2>This is my first post, so please forgive me if I've done anything
stupid. I have set up a home-grown read-only system (based on RH 7.2, 2.4.27
kernel), and I have installed heartbeat 1.2.3 and drbd 0.7.4.

<FONT size=2>The filesystem is set up a little differently, with /boot existing
on one partition, / on another, and then a 500MB ramdisk with /var, /tmp, and
some other files existing on it that need to be writeable. On boot the system
copies defaults to this RAMDISK, which can then be written
over.</FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<FONT size=2>I created the /dev/drbd nodes 1-15 and the directory link from /dev
to /RAMDISK/dev which is writeable, and I also created
/var/lib/heartbeat/hb_extension so that the increment file could be found for
/var/log/ha-log to work. </FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<FONT size=2>The problem comes when I bring up both of the nodes in the cluster,
which I believe I have configured correctly. Before when I had a writeable
system, I had these configs working, and was able to synch just find between
primary and secondary. When I boot now, and the drbd startup script runs, and
then the heartbeat startup, the peer is found, and about 5 seconds later, a
"System halted." message is printed (which coincidentally does NOT halt the
system), and instead it corrupts the ethernet interfaces (the lights even go
out). An ifconfig confirms this as it says a lot of errors, drops, and overruns
are reported, which is understandable since the lights have gone out
:).</FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=825171614-19012005><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>I am
wondering if anyone else knows some files that need to exist under /var or
perhaps /usr besides the /var/lib/heartbeat directory, or anything else that
needs to be written to or installed under those directories, which might be
causing the problem I described. I'm definitely willing to try things for anyone
that's interested in helping me figure this out. Thank you very
much,</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
