Hello !

I've following problem wich stops me from using drbd:

(I've got compiled 8.0pre6 and want to run it under a XEN Dom0
Linux xeon2 2.6.16.29-xen #2 SMP Sun Sep 24 14:37:59 CEST 2006 x86_64
GNU/Linux)

root at xeon2:~# /etc/init.d/drbd start
Starting DRBD resources:    [ d0 Failure: (119) No valid meta-data
signature found.
)Use 'drbdadm create-md res' to initialize meta-data area.


cmd /sbin/drbdsetup /dev/drbd0 disk /dev/mapper/xeon2-vm01
/dev/mapper/xeon2-drbd 0 --set-defaults --create-device
--on-io-error=detach  failed!
root at xeon2:~# drbdadm create-md all

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

Creating meta data...

root at xeon2:~# drbdadm dump-md all
version "v08";

uuid {
    0x0000000000000004; 0x0000000000000000; 0x0000000000000000;
0x0000000000000000;
    flags 0x00000000;
}

bm-byte-per-bit 4096;
device-uuid 0x3D56966BF1220556;
# bm-bytes 0;
# bits-set 0;
bm {
}

I can dump my metadata ! Sow it should be in place ...
