I am running 2.6.11.7 with the most recent drbd-trunk code. When I load the driver and do drbdadm up all I get: ioctl(,SET_DISK_CONFIG,) failed: Invalid argument No valid meta-data signature found. Use 'drbdadm create-md res' to initialize meta-data area. Command './drbdsetup /dev/drbd0 disk /dev/sda1 internal -1 --on-io-error=detach' terminated with exit code 20 Following those instructions I get: drbdadm create-md ldmdata offset 1270857728, size 349 Valid meta-data already in place, recreate new? [need to type 'yes' to confirm] yes Creating meta data... Then I run drbdadm up all and get a repeat of the original error. Now, I know that drbdmeta does write something as I wrote a small program to read the v08 md stuff: a_sect = 0 uuid[0] = 0 uuid[1] = 0 uuid[2] = 0 uuid[3] = 0 flags = 0 magic = 1795323011 md_size = 8 al_offset = 134217728 al_nr_extents = 16842752 bm_offset = 1207959552 reserved = Anyone have any suggestions how to get the trunk version going. I would like to do some experimentation using drbd with gfs.
