<p class="MsoNormal">Hey everyone,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I just setup my first DRBD installation yesterday in a lab. I was able to configure it, start it, and perform the initial sync. Everything seemed to be working correctly until I restarted the two DRBD nodes. When they restarted they
dropped into recovery mode because they couldn't mount the disk from fstab. I took the entry out of fstab and restarted, and it's been all downhill from there. The official user guide leaves out a lot of practical info, so I would appreciate some pointers.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Question 1: I set DRBD on each node to start automatically and to mount /dev/drbd1 from fstab. Is that the correct way to do things? This is in a lab instance just to learn about DRBD, I don't want to mess with Pacemaker, Heartbeat, or
anything like that right now. Manual failover is ok for now.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Question 2: Since the failure I have been unable to start DRBD despite everything I've tried. When I try to start it, this is what I get:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Starting DRBD resources: [</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> create res: drbd0</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> prepare disk: drbd0</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> adjust disk: drbd0</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> adjust net: drbd0:failed(connect:20)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">]</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Which makes things seem like a network problem. But this same config was working right up to the reboot, and the config files are in sync between the two nodes. Here is /proc/drbd from node 1:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">version: 8.4.1 (api:1/proto:86-100)</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">From /proc/drbd it looks like both are in standalone mode. So I tried several things, all the way up to reinitialization, and it will still not connect. I tried to manually connect, I've tried multiple restarts, I've tried telling it
to outdate the peer from the primary node and got the response that it had to be connected first….. nothing works. Both nodes are on the same network, and are pingable from each other, and there is nothing else listening on the port that DRBD wants. Why
will they not start or connect? </p>
