So 4 (0,1,2,3) times 128MB makes 512MB and not 360MB. See also manpage: meta-disk device [index] internal means, that the last 128 MB of the lower device are used to store the meta-data. You must not use [index] with internal. You can use a single block device to store meta-data of multiple DRBD devices. E.g. use meta-disk /dev/hde6[0]; and meta-disk /dev/hde6[1]; for two different resources. In this case the meta-disk would need to be at least 256 MB in size.

April 2005 12:58 An: drbd-user at linbit.com Betreff: [DRBD-user] Metadevice question Hi, in the http://wiki.linux-ha.org/DRBD_2fQuickStart07 I founded: "Currently DRBD meta-data reserves 128MB, regardless of actual physical data storage. This allows for a maximum storage size of a single DRBD device of approximatly 4TB. " I need 5 drbd devices. For the first and second no problem. For the other devices I received: Starting DRBD resources: [ d0 d1 d2 ioctl(,SET_DISK_CONFIG,) failed: Invalid argument Meta device too small. cmd /sbin/drbdsetup /dev/drbd3 disk /dev/hda10 /dev/hda16 3 --on-io-error=detach failed! where: hda10 is 10Gb and hda16 is 360Mb and drbd version is 0.7.10 for kernel 2.4.27-2-386 (debian) Where is the problem?
