I'm sure there is something obvious I am neglecting, but I can't figure this out: [root at rhdmz01 ~]# rpm -qa |grep drbd kmod-drbd82-smp-8.2.6-2.2.6.9_67.0.22.EL drbd82-8.2.5-1.el4.centos I have a box running DRBD without a second node - I just brought the second box online this morning. I'm able to connect them, run them pri/pri, however I'm unable to attach the disk of the new node. [root at rhdmz01 ~]# drbdadm attach home_ftp Failure: (119) No valid meta-data signature found. ==> Use 'drbdadm create-md res' to initialize meta-data area. <== Command 'drbdsetup /dev/drbd1 disk /dev/VolGroup00/home_ftp /dev/VolGroup00/home_ftp internal --set-defaults --create-device' terminated with exit code 10 I didn't think I had to do that, but I tried it anyway... Now when I do an attach I get this in the logs: drbd2: disk( Diskless -> Attaching ) drbd2: No usable activity log found. drbd2: max_segment_size ( = BIO size ) = 32768 drbd2: drbd_bm_resize called with capacity == 1048472 drbd2: resync bitmap: bits=131059 words=4096 drbd2: size = 512 MB (524236 KB) drbd2: reading of bitmap took 5 jiffies drbd2: recounting of set bits took additional 0 jiffies drbd2: 512 MB (131059 bits) marked out-of-sync by on disk bit-map. drbd2: disk( Attaching -> Negotiating ) drbd2: Writing meta data super block now. drbd2: Barriers not supported on meta data device - disabling drbd2: Becoming sync target due to disk states. drbd2: conn( Connected -> WFBitMapT ) drbd2: conn( WFBitMapT -> WFSyncUUID ) drbd2: helper command: /sbin/drbdadm before-resync-target drbd2: before-resync-target handler returned 3, dropping connection. drbd2: peer( Primary -> Unknown ) conn( WFSyncUUID -> Disconnecting ) disk( Negotiating -> Inconsistent ) Any ideas what I'm missing here?
