I've finally seen the error of my ways, so after 15 years of being a Windows Admin, I've been seduced by the light side... I've only been working with Linux for a week now, so please bear with me. I have a lab setup of two virgin Debian Sarge systems. I believe I was successful in getting drbd to load and run yesterday, but it was only running 4 K/s in the sync and only ever got to .6% done (even overnight). So I decided to rebuild my computers from the ground up and see if that changed anything. One the computer I want as the primary when I run 'drbdadm primary all' it returns: ioctl(,SET_STATE,) failed: Input/Output error Local replica is inconsistent (--do-what-I-sya ?) Command '/sbin/drbdsetup /dev/drbd0 primary' terminated with exit code 21 flushing ide devices: hda System halted. Message from syslod2 at localhost at Fri Jul 29 16:49:40 2005 ... localhost kernel: System halted. test1/etc/network# hub.c: new USB device 00:1d.1-1, assigned address 2 hub.c: USB hub found hub.c: 2 ports detected drbd0: Ping Ack did not arrive in time. drbd0: drbd0_asender [3866]: cstate Connected --> NetworkFailure drbd0: asender terminated drbd0: drbd0_receiver [3859]: cstate NetworkFailure --> BrokenPipe drbd0: short read expecting header on sock: r=-512 drbd0: worker terminated drbd0: drbd0_receiver [3859]: cstate BrokenPipe --> Unconnected drbd0: Connection Lost drbd0: drbd0_receiver [3859]: cstate UnConnected --> WFConnection hub.c: error resetting hub 2 - disconnecting usb.c: USB disconnect on device 00:1d.7-3 address 2 At this point the network no longer works etc. I thought it may be a fluke, so I reinstalled the entire system from scratch and I get the exact same problem. I have outlined the below steps, because I really have no idea where to start looking, since I'm not quite sure what I have done so far :-) 1. Build System from Debian Sarge iso Disk 1 2. # apt-get install vim ssh module-assistant dpatch kernel-headers-2.4.27-2 kernel-headers-2.4.27-2-386 drbd0.7-module-source drbd0.7-utils 3. edit /etc/network/interfaces to assign static IP to my NIC 4. # m-a prepare 5. # m-a a-i drbd0.7-module-source 6. edit /etc/drbd.conf: " global { minor-count 5 } resource r0 { protocol C; incon-degr-cmd "halt -f"; on test1 { device /dev/drbd0; disk /dev/sda2; address 192.168.1.39:7789; meta-disk internal; } on test2 { device /dev/drbd0; disk /dev/hda2; address 192.168.1.40:7789; meta-disk internal; } } " 7. # scp /etc/drbd.conf 192.168.1.40:/etc/drbd.conf 8. # /etc/init.d/drbd start 9. # drbdadm primary all And this is where I get the error. If I'm doing something wrong, please let me know. Thanks in advance. --Jason W. Allen jallen_at_mpgis_dot_net
