<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><big><small>I have a HA setup using
heartbeat 1.2.3-1 and DRBD 0.7.10 on Debian woody kernel 2.4.28. One of the
DRBD file systems is putting the following error message in the syslog:</small><br>

Feb 16 18:42:56 vdras1 kernel: 93:00: rw=0, want=1877908, limit=1868988
I know that I need to perform a fsck, but I'm not sure if the fsck should be done on the DRBD device (/dev/drbd0) or the physical device (/dev/sda6). DRBD (/dev/drbd0) was installed over the top of an existing file system on /dev/sda. The file system type is ext3.
2 questions:
1) Should the fsck be performed on the DRBD device (/dev/drbd0) or the physical device (/dev/sda6)?
2) What is the best method to install a DRBD file system? Is it to install the DRBD file system over an existing file system on a physical device or to install the DRBD file system on a physical device that does not have a file system?
