Hello everyone!

This is my first time with DRBD, and so far it's been interesting. I am
attempting to use it with OpenFiler (CentOS), as well as heartbeat.

I am not quite sure if I got the mirror to work, but the drbd service
starts on both machines. 

--- Here's as snapshot from my /etc/drbd.conf

 on openfiler {
    device     /dev/drbd0;
    disk       /dev/hda3;
    address    192.168.1.107:7788;
    meta-disk  internal;

}
  on openfiler2 {
    device    /dev/drbd0;
    disk      /dev/hda3;
    address   192.168.1.108:7788;
    meta-disk internal;
  }


--- Here's the output from /proc/drbd: 

version: 0.7.6 (api:77/proto:74)
SVN Revision: 1663 build by root@aztec.corp.xinit.com, 2005-03-08
13:59:43
 0: cs:Connected st:Primary/Secondary ld:Consistent
    ns:0 nr:0 dw:0 dr:0 al:0 bm:0 lo:0 pe:0 ua:0 ap:0


My question now: I am not able to 

a) put a filesystem on /dev/drbd0
b) mount /dev/drbd0 on /mnt/disk

thus c) not being able to see any working mirrors. 

Is there a newby Howto that explains in simple steps the setup
configuration? 

Greets, 
Rainer Rohde
