Hi,<br> just as a thought - is there a way of using your application in a chroot() environment. The you would not really need to boot into the drbd device but switch as some stage. <br><br> Hope that helps.<br><br>R<br><br>

</div>the secondary node will have to mount it's root either on RAM or on some<br>
other device that I still need to figure out what exactly it's going to<br>
be...<br>
<br>
the idea is that the secondary machine must "release" all the storage<br>
devices and run independently without needing to mount then (because it<br>
cant)...<br>
<br>
well... this approach really turns the secondary machine into something<br>
quite dumb... but I don't have any other solution...<br>
<br>
as for the primary I'm still thinking of the possible ways the kernel<br>
could mount the "/" on a device with drbd on it... some issues need to<br>
be solved such as the initial sync and so... initrd with drbd device<br>
driver.... I really don't have a detailed solution yet...<br>
<br>
but I'm trying !<br>
<br>
comments ?<br>
<br>
thx<br>
