This is actually incorrect: > ############# > gamma6 IPaddr::192.168.24.10 drbd drbddisk::export Filesystem::/dev/drbd0::/usr/export::xfs > ############# You should start drbd normally prior to heartbeat from /etc/init.d/drbd In RedHat alikes use chkconfig to add drbd to the startup scripts if not already there. For example in mine it looks like: [root at sauron export]# chkconfig --list | grep drbd drbd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off Then your haresources line should look like: gamma6 IPaddr::192.168.24.10 drbddisk::export Filesystem::/dev/drbd0::/usr/export::xfs Note that I removed *drbd* from there. Then at the end of the line you should list your highly available services like samba, nfs, mail, apache, etc. For example: gamma6 IPaddr::192.168.24.10 drbddisk::export Filesystem::/dev/drbd0::/usr/export::xfs smb nfs The /etc/init.d/drbd starts drbd and connects the two machines. Then the drbddisk script on heartbeat decides which of the two machines should be considered primary and which secondary. Since you are trying to use the drbd script from haresources, then it is running drbd start on the primary but drbd stop on the secondary. Diego
