Originally I made the filesystem on the raw devide /dev/sda5 and it has been flakey. I could write about 10 megs and then the file system would turn into a read-only state. So I read here that the filesystem has to be made on /dev/drbd0. Once I start drbd and it creates /dev/drbd0, I am unable to make a filesystem on it. It errors out with "Could not stat /dev/drbd0 --- Permission denied" Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!! [root at fcha1 /]# /etc/init.d/drbd start Starting DRBD resources: [ d0 s0 n0 ]. .
