I am attempting to setup drbd on debian unstable, it reports version .8pre2. Since I cannot get it to work, I am attempting to break things down into smaller pieces. To do this, I am attempting to use dbbd setup. If I understand things properly, drbd setup is the low level user interface and it should not ever look at drbd.conf right? When I run it to attpemt to setup a device it complains about the meta-data area needing to be intialized (or something like that, I'm sorry I'm at work and don't have access to the box right now for the exact error message). The kicker is that the error message tells me to run drbdadm create-md res (that was drbdadm,not drbdsetup!). Now this seems strange to me since it seems like drbadm runs off of drbd.conf. Is there a way to do this 'create-md' step manually on a device without having to reference the drbd.conf file? This 'drbdadm create-md res' command isn't documented on this page: http://www.drbd.org/fileadmin/drbd/doc/0.7.0/en/drbdadm.html What is the 'res' part supposed to be? -Martin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
