Okay, we are going to do it all over again. It doesnt seem to be the problem though, weve been using drbd for many years now in many deployments. Im pretty sure we are NOT using mkfs /underlying/partition and then attempting to mount drbd0. We are creating the drbd disk, then mkfs -j /dev/drbd0 and then we nmount drbd0, which is the way it should work afaik. So, ill keep you guys posted, but i think im heading for trouble anyway. If its not the "using underlying partition" issue, what else could it be?
