Hi Richard,<br>
<br>
You're useing ext3 as filesystem, this filesystem does not support
'dual primary' mode. You need GFS or OCFS2.<br>
<br>
Have a look:<br>

<br>
I experimented with OCFS2, but dropped it in the end. However, it
may fit your needs...<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>

<br>
<br>
I am new to DRBD, and I think I have it setup correctly, but
wanted to check my assumptions at the door. I have two nodes
connected over a VPN link, and they are geographically separated
by about 15 kilometres. Their connection is not mind blowingly
fast, but I am not looking for true realtime I/O. I am looking to
replicate, at the block level, a qmail messaging store between the
two nodes, and I like the idea of block level replication, because
if a message comes in, I don't have to replicate the user's entire
message store like I believe Unison would do.
<br>
<br>
Block level replication would also be, I believe truly
bi-directional.
<br>
<br>
So, for my testing I have created a dual primary drbd called
/dev/drbd1.
<br>
<br>
Looking at /proc/drbd on both nodes shows an active
Primary/Primary device.
<br>
<br>
[root@defiant tmp]# cat /proc/drbd

The device is mounted on both systems.
<br>
<br>
/dev/drbd1 on /var/tmp type ext3 (rw)
<br>
<br>
The config on both nodes is identical.

}
<br>
}
<br>
<br>
Now to my logic, if I write a file to one node, it should show up
on the other. So on 192.168.0.4, I do an ls -l /etc
>/var/tmp/blah.txt, it should show up on BOTH systems with the
same size and date stamp.
<br>
<br>
...Node 1.
<br>
<br>
[root@defiant tmp]# ls -l /etc >/var/tmp/blah.txt
<br>
[root@defiant tmp]# ls -l /var/tmp
<br>

<br>

<br>
[root@defiant tmp]#
<br>

...Node 2.

<br>
[root@illustrious ~]#
<br>
<br>
...and yet the filesystems are dissimilar. Note the stuff that is
there on one node, but not the other, and that the date stamp for
the file that exists on both is wrong on the second node.
<br>
<br>
Am I missing something, or am I expecting drbd to do something
it's not capable of doing?...
<br>
<br>
Thanks,
<br>
Richard.
