This means the device is not connected. Did you run those drbdadm commands on
both nodes? Can both nodes ping each other over their 192.168.1.0
interfaces?

That's a really old mke2fs. Which version of which distro are you running?
Are you running udev? You should be. If you're not running udev (why not?)
then you need to mknod the appropriate devices. "mknod /dev/drbd0 b 147 0"
and then go install udev and run it.

I think you're doing something that you haven't told us about. This error
message is really strange. Provide more details about your setup.

The device node doesn't exist, so mke2fs fails. There are multiple possible
reasons for this; most of them should be addressed in the paragraphs above.
Please answer the questions in this message and follow up to the list, and
someone should be able to figure out what's going on here.
