Hello list, I've seen other people with the same problem as me, but since I couldn't find any answer I'll try again. When I do /etc/init.d/drbd start, I get this error: Failure: (114) Lower device is already mounted. Command '/sbin/drbdsetup /dev/drbd0 disk /dev/loop5 /dev/loop5 internal --set-defaults --create-device --on-io-error=detach' terminated with exit code 10 And from that moment the device is locked (until reboot), so if I for example do (just a test): # mkfs.ext3 /dev/loop5 mke2fs 1.38 (30-Jun-2005) /dev/loop5 is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here! The device is busy even if I unload the drbd module. I've also tried on a lvm2 device with _exactly_ the same result... So, the problem is first of all that I can't get drbd to work and secondly it occupies my device. Help, anyone? My system (yes, I run xen and lvm2): # uname -a Linux cambozola 2.6.16.28-xen #11 SMP Wed Nov 8 09:56:34 CET 2006 x86_64 AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 246 GNU/Linux # cat /proc/drbd version: 8.0pre6 (api:85/proto:85) SVN Revision: 2585 build by root at cambozola, 2007-01-20 16:28:50 Thanks, /Magnus
