You know, reading http://www.drbd.org/users-guide/ch-lvm.html (the whole chapter, not just the first section) would have saved you a lot of experimentation effort. ;-) On Wednesday 12 March 2008 18:26:36 Ralph.Grothe at itdz-berlin.de wrote: > # pvs > /dev/drbd0: open failed: Wrong medium type > PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree > /dev/md1 vg00 lvm2 a- 9.54G 3.91G > /dev/md3 vgdata lvm2 a- 27.94G 9.44G > /dev/md5 vgrh lvm2 a- 9.54G 3.91G > > > Oops, I wonder if "Wrong medium type" only disappears when drbd > is completely shut down on this node? Because when DRBD is in Secondary mode, "wrong medium type" is what the kernel tells you when you attempt to access the device. When DRBD is shut down, its block device nodes disappear and LVM doesn't scan them to begin with. Cheers, Florian -- : Florian G.
