Hi,

has anyone succeeded in setting up multiple nfs-exported drbd-volumes
without getting the 'Stale NFS file handle'-error during failover?

Following http://linux-ha.org/DRBD_2fNFS I can export one drbd-volume with
symlinked /var/lib/nfs which works perfectly without error during failover.
But what do I need to do if I have two or more drbd-volumes on my nfs-server
(which will be exported to different clients)?

/var/lib/nfs can only be symlinked to one of the volumes which
means that I would get a 'Stale NFS file handle'-error during failover
on all the other volumes.

I've tried to set up /var/lib/nfs as drbd0 and then my data-volumes as
drbd1, drbd2 etc. but that did not help.

I've been reading the list-archives and googling around but haven't found
anything that pointed me to where the problem lies.

Is it not possible to use more than one volume for nfs-export?

Thanks for any hints on this!

Regards

  Raoul
