Hi all,
I am new to drbd. I wanted to set up a test
environment. However, During the configuration, I got
this error :

[root at redhatA ~]# drbdadm up all
Failure: (114) Lower device is already claimed. This
usually means it is mounted.
Command 'drbdsetup /dev/drbd0 disk
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
flexible --set-defaults --create-device
--on-io-error=detach' terminated with exit code 10

The /etc/drbd.conf is 
[root at redhatA ~]# cat  /etc/drbd.conf
# drbd.conf 

resource testResource {

  protocol C;
  
  startup {
     wfc-timeout  300;
    degr-wfc-timeout 120;    # 2 minutes.
  }

  disk {
    on-io-error   detach;
  }

  net {
    }

  syncer {
    rate 10M;

    

    al-extents 257;
  }

  on redhatA {
    device     /dev/drbd0;
    disk       /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00;
    address    192.168.10.19:7788;
    meta-disk  internal;

  }

  on redhatB {
    device     /dev/drbd0;
    disk       /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00;
    address    192.168.10.20:7788;
    meta-disk  internal;
  }
}

Is there anything wrong with my configuration file?
Thank you very much
