okie i got it to compile against the source of the kernel installed...

drbd is finally up :D

okie now, i have a couple of other concerns..
firstly after setting on as primary, the cat /proc/drbd on both machine is
reflected as..
 test 1 is the primary

test1:~ # cat /proc/drbd
version: 0.7.14 (api:77/proto:74)
SVN Revision: 1989 build by root at test1, 2005-11-11 14:50:53
 0: cs:Connected st:Primary/Secondary ld:Consistent
    ns:0 nr:0 dw:0 dr:0 al:0 bm:0 lo:0 pe:0 ua:0 ap:0
 1: cs:Unconfigured


test2:~ # cat /proc/drbd
version: 0.7.18 (api:78/proto:74)
SVN Revision: 2186 build by lmb at chip, 2006-05-04 17:08:27
 0: cs:Connected st:Secondary/Primary ld:Consistent
    ns:0 nr:0 dw:0 dr:0 al:0 bm:0 lo:0 pe:0 ua:0 ap:0
 1: cs:Unconfigured


is the above correct ? should the st:/primary/Secondary should be same on
both the machines ?

secondly i'm using the folling snip in my conf file

  on test1 {
    device     /dev/drbd0;
    disk       /dev/md0;
    address    192.168.2.61:7788;
    meta-disk  internal;
  }

  on test2 {
    device    /dev/drbd0;
    disk      /dev/md0;
    address   192.168.2.62:7788;
    meta-disk internal;
  }



I have linux RAID0 on both the server under /dev/md0

now the thing i can't figure out, is where does the data actually goes on
the server1 is how to  mount /dev/md0 to store some data on it.. because
when i try to mount it, it says drive is busy, probably becuase of sumthing
drbd is doing ..



Thanks
