Hiya,
Seeing some strange things with DRBD 8 and 2.6.22.10 kernel.
When I try to create the file system, it locks up.
db-2:/etc# cat /proc/drbd
version: 8.0.5 (api:86/proto:86)
SVN Revision: 3011 build by root at db-2, 2007-10-19 14:40:06

db-2:/etc# mkfs.ext3 -L vservers /dev/drbd0
mke2fs 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006)
Filesystem label=vservers
OS type: Linux
Block size=4096 (log=2)
Fragment size=4096 (log=2)
7487488 inodes, 14958049 blocks
747902 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user
First data block=0
Maximum filesystem blocks=0
457 block groups
32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group
16384 inodes per group
Superblock backups stored on blocks:
32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912, 819200, 884736, 1605632,
2654208,
4096000, 7962624, 11239424
Writing inode tables: 154/457
It will now sit there waiting forever.
I've seen this behaviour before with 2.6.20 and the kernel connector
(http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/drbd/announce/11858). I ended up
downgrading to 2.6.19.7 and fixed my problem.
However I thought that this would have been corrected with 2.6.22 (I've
taken a look at the kernel connector code in 2.6.22.10 and appears to
have the patch detailed in the link above).
Thoughts?
Cheers
Tim
