<DIV></DIV><FONT size=2><B>I don't think what you are trying to do is
possible. I believe that an appropriate way to do this would be to set
up LVM instead of using the underlying block device. (Have a look
at http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_lvm) This can have an added advantage of
allowing you to do snapshot backups of the block device. <BR><BR>Cheers,

<BR>> <FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=617103814-02062011>Is it possible
to have more than 1 'disk' (i.e. as listed in the example config
below) for each device? The manual (<A
href="http://www.drbd.org/users-guide/re-drbdconf.html">http://www.drbd..org/users-guide/re-drbdconf.html</A>)
is not explicit on this point... If it is possible, what is the correct
syntax? I have several disks, but wish them presented as a single
/dev/drbd device... Finally, if possible, can the extra disk(s) be added
if I already have a resource working with 2 nodes with 1 disk on each? I
don't mind taking down 1 node if necessary, but I would rather not delete the
resource and start again...</SPAN></FONT> <BR>> <FONT face=Arial
