Hello again,
thanks to the two guys, who made me having installed DRBD on both machines now. :) Thanks
But now, the next problem occurred.
I configured my /etc/drbd.conf and started DRBD with /etc/init.d/drbd start.
But then both nodes wait for the other node to appear.
If I say "yes" to interrupt this waiting, both do have following state
/etc/init.d/drbd status
drbd driver loaded OK; device status:
version: 8.0.4 (api:86/proto:86)
SVN Revision: 2947 build by buildsvn at c5-i386-build, 2007-07-31 19:25:17
0: cs:WFConnection st:Secondary/Unknown ds:Inconsistent/DUnknown C r---
ns:0 nr:0 dw:0 dr:0 al:0 bm:0 lo:0 pe:0 ua:0 ap:0
resync: used:0/31 hits:0 misses:0 starving:0 dirty:0 changed:0
act_log: used:0/127 hits:0 misses:0 starving:0 dirty:0 changed:0
So I read, that both are secondary.
I do not know, what WFConnection means. :(
I tried drbdsetup /dev/drbd0 primary --overwrite-data-of-peer
[whicht is the newer version for --do-what-i-say (???)]
I can make this on on or on both nodes. They change their state to Primary/Unknown and are Up2Date, but don't change to Connected (They're still WFConnected).
So I think they aren't really connected yet.
Does anyone have an idea, how to connect them?
Tanks a lot.
Flori

Try a "yum update" to get your kernel to the latest version.
