^^^^^^^
I'd recommend to comment out this line until you have it setup and
running reliably, or set it to something like
"echo drbd: incon-degr-cmd: would have done halt -f | wall"
(just in case,
wall is not build from bricks, nor has it windows,
and it does not make musik either.
it is "write a message to all (currently logged in (pseudo) terminal) users"
)
this command is intended to stop a stupid cluster manager from trying to
make an inconsistent replica of a degraded cluster primary.
when the peers never saw each other before, and never have been primary
either, than they are exactly in this state,
and your attempt to promote it to primary goes directly into this
callback (and, as configured, halts the machine).
doh.

did you know that we strongly recommend external meta data?

no, but drbdadm -- --do-what-I-say primary all
(and you should be pretty sure that you mean what you say).

(btw, I personally dislike reiserfs,
even though I used it in that example)
cheers, and have a nice weekend ...
