Make a filesystem on your primary drbd and it is replicated automatically to your second node. > It depends on: 1)the version of drbd & 2)whether one wants to use a clustering file system e.g GFS (global file system) one may mount and do read write. new versions has this option in /etc/drbd.conf allow-two-primaries With this option set you might make both nodes primary. You only should use this options if you use a shared storage file system on top of DRBD. At the time of writing the only ones are: OCFS2 and GFS. If you use this option with any other filesystem you are goint to crash your nodes and to corrupt your data! in your case I don't think you need to bother about GFS file system.
