command in rescue mode,<br>
then I created a new lv named LogVol03 which is in VolGroup00 with size
420G<br>
<br>
I used the disk /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol03 <br>
<br>
And my problem had been solved,<br>
All createing , attaching , and syncing went well.<br>
Then I mounted /dev/drbd0 as /var/opt/axigen<br>
Here is another question,<br>
<br>
Do I have wasted my 420G space doing this?<br>
Or better, how much space should I dedicate to / (root) partition and
how much for drbd0? (/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol03) for best performance?<br>
<br>
Thanks again for your replies.<br>

so just do what the message says: zero the metadata on the underlying
storage:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 bs=1M count=1
This should help.

Hi,
it appears the OP would like his 900G filesystem not destroyed ;)
So no, you might not want to do that.
>From what I can see, you probably want to use external metadata. Can you
shrink one of your LV's to make room for an additional dedicated
metadata disk? Least pain that way.
Alternatively, just shrink the fs in /var/opt to make room for the
metadata. Are these mailservers in a failover cluster? If you can take
them down for maintenance one at a time, you should be able to modify
the filesystems.

An other question:

I don't fully understand your layout. Does your PV comprise /dev/sda2?
Is /dev/sdb2 used at all atm?

What is currently mounted as /var/opt.
The current partition of /var/opt should become your backing device,
then mount /dev/drbd0 as /var/opt.
