With utils upgraded, it is the same.
Hopefully I have time tomorrow to build 2.0-rc4.
Or are there working .debs somewhere?

Obviously only one guest per DRBD-device makes sense in conjunction with
heartbeat. But for testing^Wtrial /vservers would be enough.

Thnx, some solutions are so simple;-)

Is there a special reason for hardcoding?
As a naive user I would expect to configure the /path/to/my/vserver
_per_ vserver.
And newvserver(1) of debian-vservertools says
| --vsroot location of "/vserver/" directory Required:
whatever this means ... it's not the only error in this manpage.

Why not. It's a recommended method to keep the config in sync on both
nodes of a cluster. But I can live with scp, rsync etc., if
/etc/vservers does not change often, AND if I know that it changed.

I cannot see a difference via 'ls -all' and 'lsattr' between the default
/var/lib/vservers and /dev/drbd0 mounted on it.
Here are the fstab entries:
/dev/hda7 / ext3 defaults,user_xattr,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda5 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda8 /save ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
#/dev/drbd0 /var/lib/vservers ext3 rw,user,noauto,user_xattr,errors=rem$
/dev/drbd0 /var/lib/vservers ext3 rw,user,noauto,errors=remount-ro 0
1
'user_xattr' or not does not make a difference.
Maybe I do not understand some basics.
Hints welcome.

Nothing found in the logs.
The only abnormal messages are
Jun 15 23:16:54 cel600 kernel: limit=19272832
Jun 15 23:16:54 cel600 kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device
Jun 15 23:16:54 cel600 kernel: drbd0: rw=1, want=19319512, limit=19272832
[last 2 lines repeat very often]
Maybe 'tar' or 'dump' caused this, as I tried to move a vserver, but I
cannot find out the time of these actions. It does not happen during
'vserver build'. To be sure I redid a 'mke2fs -j /dev/drbd0', which does
not help.

I cc this to drbd-user, maybe someone has a hint.
