Hi I am new to this topic DRBD and all problems in the initial setup, I stopped a concern about the parameter of the meta-disk configuration DRBD. What we now call my interest is interest is my disk physical space needed to perform this replication. For example I want to replicate an LVM partition made of two GB. when it is installed file system (ext3) and restart the service this error appears: angel:/home/anyelon# drbdadm create-md r-cluster md_offset 1073737728 al_offset 1073704960 bm_offset 1073672192 Found ext3 filesystem which uses 1048576 kB current configuration leaves usable 1048508 kB Device size would be truncated, which would corrupt data and result in 'access beyond end of device' errors. You need to either * use external meta data (recommended) * shrink that filesystem first * zero out the device (destroy the filesystem) Operation refused. Command 'drbdmeta /dev/drbd0 v08 /dev/datos/cluster internal create-md' terminated with exit code 40 drbdadm aborting this is my configuration of virtual group angel:/home/anyelon# vgdisplay --- Volume group --- VG Name datos System ID Format lvm2 Metadata Areas 1 Metadata Sequence No 2 VG Access read/write VG Status resizable MAX LV 0 Cur LV 1 Open LV 0 Max PV 0 Cur PV 1 Act PV 1 VG Size 2.00 GB PE Size 4.00 MB Total PE 511 Alloc PE / Size 256 / 1.00 GB Free PE / Size 255 / 1020.00 MB VG UUID Ud9n9Q-T9Iz-IpES-kKRv-mqn2-S8Wd-WaxzY7 How much space must I have to replicate this size by example???????
