If you meant to use the space /var is on now, nothing has to change. Make sure to umount /var and check your fstab (even reboot). After that create a new filesystem on /dev/drbd0 when it's brought up and primary. But if /var is already in use with typical /var content then boot in single-user mode and move everything to a /var directory on your root disk /. -- Leroy
