Is this expected or is something bad happening? [root]# drbdmeta /dev/drbd0 v08 /dev/sda3 0 wipe-md Wiping meta data... ioctl(,BLKFLSBUF,) failed: Bad address operation failed But when I repeat the same command: [root]# drbdmeta /dev/drbd0 v08 /dev/sda3 0 wipe-md v08 Magic number not found There apears to be no drbd meta data to wipe out? The same thing happens for the create-md: [root]# drbdadm create-md drbd0 v08 Magic number not found v07 Magic number not found About to create a new drbd meta data block on /dev/sda3. ==> This might destroy existing data! <== Do you want to proceed? [need to type 'yes' to confirm] yes Creating meta data... initialising activity log NOT initialized bitmap (131036 KB) ioctl(,BLKFLSBUF,) failed: Bad address operation failed Then I just repeat the command: [root]# drbdadm create-md drbd0 Valid meta-data already in place, recreate new? [need to type 'yes' to confirm] Operation cancelled.
