Hello,

I try to install DRBD over a LVM2 Volume.
I configure DRBD to use protocol C that seems to be 
recommanded.

After a successfull drbd synchro, I try to run 
mke2fs -j /dev/drbd0 ... and drbd crash ! The connexion 
with secondary node is broken.

It seems to work with protocol A, but I don't really understand why ...

But is it really interesting to use DRBD over LVM ? I use LVM for
snapshots to have more consistant backup. I saw on mailing list,
FAQ, ... a lot of contradictory informations about DRBD and LVM
snapshot.
Does it works or not ?

Thanks,
