Hmm, when using 0.8pre6 drbdsetup (when reading drbd.conf) fails to initiate my resources. Even after using drbdmeta to create the metadata: $ drbdmeta /dev/drbd0 v08 /dev/sda5 0 create-md $ drbdmeta /dev/drbd1 v08 /dev/sda5 1 create-md [root at jimmy ~]# /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/sda6 /dev/sda5 0 --set-defaults --create-device --on-io-error=detach failed! What gives? I really want to use an external device and not an internal metadata... drbdadm of course also fails (when using create-md) because all it does is call drbdmeta anyway (right?).
