Hello all! I am trying to get DRDB running on two machines, each running Gentoo 2008.0 (server) with 2.6.25-gentoo-r7 kernel. first issue I was faced to was 'unknown symbol crypto_alloc_base' (and some others which I don't remember) when loading the drbd module. I quickly fixed it by adding all crypto* items as modules in the kernel, as well as those found in the netfilter section. my question is the following: which options are _required_ for the drbd module to load properly? it seems only the 'cn' module gets loaded... and now comes the real question: I followed the instructions on http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Heartbeat_and_DRBD and http://www.drbd.org/docs/install/ but after starting the initial sync I cannot mount the drbd drives on the Secondary host: back2 / # mount /mnt/drbd mount: block device /dev/drbd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: Wrong medium type if I check the status, this is what I get: back2 ~ # cat /proc/drbd version: 8.0.13 (api:86/proto:86) GIT-hash: ee3ad77563d2e87171a3da17cc002ddfd1677dbe build by root at back2, 2008-09-08 21:10:42 0: cs:Connected st:Secondary/Primary ds:UpToDate/UpToDate C r--- ns:0 nr:0 dw:0 dr:0 al:0 bm:0 lo:0 pe:0 ua:0 ap:0 resync: used:0/61 hits:0 misses:0 starving:0 dirty:0 changed:0 act_log: used:0/257 hits:0 misses:0 starving:0 dirty:0 changed:0 1: cs:SyncTarget st:Secondary/Primary ds:Inconsistent/UpToDate C r--- ns:0 nr:946928 dw:946928 dr:0 al:0 bm:57 lo:0 pe:0 ua:0 ap:0 [>....................] sync'ed: 0.9% (101491/102403)M finish: 81:11:34 speed: 320 (328) K/sec resync: used:0/61 hits:64458 misses:59 starving:0 dirty:0 changed:59 act_log: used:0/257 hits:0 misses:0 starving:0 dirty:0 changed:0 back1 ~ # drbdadm state all Primary/Secondary Primary/Secondary back1 ~ # drbdadm cstate all Connected SyncSource back2 / # drbdadm state all Secondary/Primary Secondary/Primary back2 / # drbdadm cstate all Connected SyncTarget I can issue a `drbdadm down drbd0` command on the secondary host, but not on the Primary (even after is has been downed on the secondary): I get this: output of dmesg for 'back2' (secondary): drbd0: peer( Primary -> Unknown ) conn( Connected -> Disconnecting ) pdsk( UpToDate -> DUnknown ) drbd0: Writing meta data super block now. drbd0: short read expecting header on sock: r=-512 drbd0: asender terminated drbd0: Terminating asender thread drbd0: tl_clear() drbd0: Connection closed drbd0: conn( Disconnecting -> StandAlone ) drbd0: receiver terminated drbd0: Terminating receiver thread drbd0: disk( UpToDate -> Diskless ) drbd0: drbd_bm_resize called with capacity == 0 drbd0: worker terminated drbd0: Terminating worker thread back1 ~ # drbdadm down drbd0 /dev/drbd0: State change failed: (-12) Device is held open by someone Command 'drbdsetup /dev/drbd0 down' terminated with exit code 11 drbdsetup exited with code 11 dmesg: drbd0: State change failed: Device is held open by someone drbd0: state = { cs:WFConnection st:Primary/Unknown ds:UpToDate/DUnknown r--- } drbd0: wanted = { cs:WFConnection st:Secondary/Unknown ds:UpToDate/DUnknown r--- } ##### a clue on what I could be missing? Good evening to you all David
