Hi all,
I'm new to OCFS2, but not so new to DRBD. I'd like to use the new
primary/primary feature of DRBDv8 to create a shared storage space and
concurrently access it from multiple clients, using OCFS2.
I configured two hosts with DRBD, allowed two primaries, and successfully
made each partition primary.
# cat /proc/drbd

I tried to format the volume with a traditionnal filesystem, and
successfully mounted it on both nodes.
I then tried with ocfs2. On the first node, mkfs and mount went without a
hitch, but on the second one, I systematically get an error when I try to
do anything on the volume (fsck'ing, starting ocfs2-heartbeat, mounting,
etc.). dmesg shows the following,
drbd0: role( Secondary -> Primary )
drbd0: Writing meta data super block now.

It seems that the heartbeat process can't write to the device, for an
unknown reason:

I can't figure if it's a DRBD- or a OCFS2-related issue, and I'd take any
enlightenment with gratitude.
BTW, I use amd64, debian-provided 2.6.17 kernel, drbd8-module-source
8.0pre4-1 (I tried SVN trunk too), and ocfs2-tools 1.2.1-1.
Thanks in advance,
