Hello again! I've followed the instructions below (based on an earlier post from Michael Hoennig), and everything went ok. Now for the test: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/drbd_0/zero count=10 1. Nothing arrives at /tmp/drbd_1/ Does anyone confirms if this works? 2. It seems that drbd_1 is mounted read-only. I need it to be RW. Is it possible? 3. # drbdsetup /dev/nb0 replicate "replicate is not a command" What? :) This is the output for 'cat /proc/drbd' after a few tries: version: 0.7-pre6 (api:72/proto:72) 0: cs:Connected st:Primary/Secondary ld:Consistent ns:8292 nr:0 dw:0 dr:8192 al:2 bm:2 lo:0 pe:0 ua:0 1: cs:Connected st:Secondary/Primary ld:Consistent ns:0 nr:8292 dw:8292 dr:0 al:0 bm:2 lo:0 pe:0 ua:0 ---- Just wondering, this file would have an equivalent in the secondary node, right? Doesn't it get screwed up by using loopbacks? The documentation is pretty outdated, I'll try to help here whenever I understand a bit of what it's going on here. Have you ever considered installing a wiki? -- This is what I've done: dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/d/backup/drbd_0 bs=1024 count=8192 dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/d/backup/drbd_1 bs=1024 count=8192 dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/d/backup/drbd_metadata bs=1024 count=262144 losetup /dev/loop0 /mnt/d/backup/drbd_0 losetup /dev/loop1 /mnt/d/backup/drbd_1 losetup /dev/loop2 /mnt/d/backup/drbd_metadata insmod drbd disable_io_hints=1 #mknod /dev/nb0 b 43 0 #mknod /dev/nb1 b 43 1 echo "drbdsetup /dev/nb0" drbdsetup /dev/nb0 disk /dev/loop0 /dev/loop2 0 drbdsetup /dev/nb0 net 127.0.0.1:9000 127.0.0.1:9001 C drbdsetup /dev/nb0 primary echo "mkfs" mkfs -t ext2 -b 4096 /dev/nb0 echo "drbdsetup /dev/nb1" drbdsetup /dev/nb1 disk /dev/loop1 /dev/loop2 1 drbdsetup /dev/nb1 net 127.0.0.1:9001 127.0.0.1:9000 C drbdsetup /dev/nb1 secondary ####echo "replicate" ####drbdsetup /dev/nb0 replicate #mkdir /tmp/drbd_0 #mkdir /tmp/drbd_1 echo "mount nb0" mount -t ext2 /dev/nb0 /tmp/drbd_0 echo "mount nb1" mount -t ext2 /dev/nb1 /tmp/drbd_1 - Nuno Tavares http://nthq.cjb.net/
