Is it possible to place external meta data in a file? Documentation states that meta-disk has to be either internal, or should point to a block-device (if external). However, with more DRBD devices, creating a new block device for each resource is a bit of an administrative burden, and sometimes, is not possible at all. Also, Linux software RAID can keep its bitmap either internally, or in a file. My little experimentation a while ago showed that DRBD won't work with files as meta data - but maybe something changed lately (or it's a planned feature)? -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org
