Ok, lets try this again...

downloaded 08pre4 and built and installed it...

here's my config

[root at amber etc]# uname -r
2.6.17-1.2157_FC5

[root at amber etc]# /etc/init.d/drbd status
drbd driver loaded OK; device status:
version: 8.0pre4 (api:83/proto:82)
SVN Revision: 2316 build by root at amber.pickerill.net, 2006-08-05 14:21:43
  0: cs:Unconfigured

[root at amber etc]# cat /proc/drbd
version: 8.0pre4 (api:83/proto:82)
SVN Revision: 2316 build by root at amber.pickerill.net, 2006-08-05 14:21:43

[root at amber etc]# drbdadm dump
common {
     syncer {
         rate             10M;
     }
}

resource drbd0 {
     protocol               C;
     on amber.pickerill.net {
         device           /dev/drbd0;
         disk             /dev/sda1;
         address          192.168.1.4:7788;
         meta-disk        /dev/sda2 [0];
     }
     on avalon.pickerill.net {
         device           /dev/drbd0;
         disk             /dev/sda1;
         address          192.168.1.6:7788;
         meta-disk        /dev/sda2 [0];
     }
     net {
         after-sb-0pri    disconnect;
         after-sb-1pri    disconnect;
         after-sb-2pri    disconnect;
     }
     disk {
         on-io-error      detach;
     }
     syncer {
         rate             10M;
         al-extents       257;
     }
     startup {
         degr-wfc-timeout 120;
     }
     handlers {
         pri-on-incon-degr "halt -f";
         pri-lost-after-sb "halt -f";
     }
}


Now here's what happens...

[root at amber etc]# drbdadm create-md all

Valid meta-data already in place, recreate new?
[need to type 'yes' to confirm] yes

Creating meta data...
initialising activity log
initialising bitmap (131036 KB)
99%New drbd meta data block sucessfully created.
[root at amber etc]# drbdadm up all
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 /dev/sda2 0 
--on-io-error=detach' terminated with exit code 20


What am I missing or doing wrong?
