I have 2 servers (Debian Woody) with scsi devices and I have a software
raid1 on the primary server.  
Now I got some problems while starting drbd on the primary server.
Here my drbd.conf file:

resource drbd0 {
          protocol=C
          fsckcmd=fsck.ext3 -p -y

          on gamma1 {
            device=/dev/nb0
            disk=/dev/mb0        <----- this is my raid1 device
            address=192.168.1.6
            port=7789
          }

          on gamma2 {
            device=/dev/nb0
            disk=/dev/sda6
            address=192.168.1.7
            port=7789
          }
        }
Now my error message:

gamma1:~/downloads# /etc/init.d/drbd start
drbd: pre-parsed needs update, parsing /etc/drbd.conf
............................................................

      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

        block device expected

  CVSID Id: drbd,v 1.44 2003/09/30 11:37:50 phil Exp

It seems, that DRBD have problems with raid1. Did somone solve 
this problem?
