Yeah it turns out the problem was that both disks were not synched, and neither was considered the Primary, nor Up To Date so I had to fully resync them to get it working. 6 hours later (I seem to have an I/O bottleneck at the disk level) after the synch I managed to create them fine. The only thing I needed to do was create an lvm2 filter to ignore the partition which DRBD was using so I was getting the error: Found duplicate PV <hash> using /dev/sda3 not /dev/drbd0 After the filter was in place however it worked great. > Given that you're going down the GFS2 route, have you got the > rest of the Redhat Cluster stuff running? > > (BTW: I've got the cluster running, but get kernel oops as > soon as I try to use GFS/GFS2, so I'm interested in feedback > about it working on > DRBD) This is running on Fedora FC6 so I've only gotten enough services to get GFS2 going. Fedora seems to have combined and minimalized a lot of the packages into the cman package so only the bare essentials are available to run GFS (which is fine with me). fence, dlm, ccs, and cman are all a part of the cman package. Other packages which the RedHat GFS 6.1 Administrator guide points out to needing (magma, magma-plugins, gulm, gnbd, all fo the *kernel and *kernheaders packages) do not appear to be currently available in the current version of Fedora. ___________________________________________________ Dan Brown zu.com communications Design - Development - Programming ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 324 Duchess Street Saskatoon, SK S7K 0R1 tel.1.306.653.4747 fax.1.306.653.4774 http://www.zu.com zu.com - now on your mobile device!
