Hi,

I'd like to move the content of /home to /dev/drbd0 and mount /dev/drbd0
as /home. I've some related questions for system boot/shutdown:

1)Where should I place the "drbdadm primary all" command sequence? The
systems always starts in secondary/secondary state, I guess this
behavior is a feature and intended ?!?

2)Where/when in the system boot procedure (Gentoo/FC4) is a good time to
mount /dev/drbd devices?

3)Where and how to integrate such a mountpoint in regular bootup fsck.ext3?

4)Where/when should I unmount the drbd devices at system shutdown,
especially if one contains /home?


Thanks for your help,
Gernot
