Hi Lars Ellenberg et al., I tried to use a large SCSI disk with drbd and the drbd startup skript. The first trial (Debian Testing, drbd 0.6.12) ended up with a ############### [...] usage: multiply $N by $F stopped at /etc/init.d/drbd (multiply) line 1020. [...] ############### and I found the hint about using fdisk -s instead of blockdev --getsize (and/or checking out the latest drbd skript from cvs) int the mailing list. I did the latter and now I got: ############### poolserver1:/etc/init.d# ./drbd start drbd: pre-parsed needs update, parsing /etc/drbd.conf ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................ drbd: configured --disk-size=1637357552k for 'drbd0' is too large drbd: 1637357552 > -510126096 kB drbd: stopped at ./drbd (check_disk) line 1095. drbd: drbd: CVSID Id: drbd,v 1.58 2004/06/01 08:34:34 lars Exp drbd: BASH_VERSINFO (2 05b 0 1 release i386-pc-linux-gnu) drbd: drbd: If you feel this script is buggy, please report to drbd: Lars Ellenberg <l.g.e at web.de>, drbd-user at lists.linbit.com drbd: ############## so even fdisk -s will not work...: ############# poolserver1:~# fdisk -s /dev/sdb1 -510126096 ############ (I had no problem to partition this disk with the same fdisk version...). Do you known this problem? Only workaround: commenting out the size checking lines in the drbd skript, or do you have any other idea?
