    /dev/mapper/vgroot-LogVol01 8.5G  148M  7.9G   2% /home
    /dev/mapper/vgroot-LogVol00 13G  161M   12G   2% /backup
    /dev/mapper/vgroot-LogVol03 11G  8.5G  1.7G  84% /usr
    /dev/hda1             487M   37M  425M   8% /boot

    Clarrification Required: Can i use the existing OS installation 
partition into DRBD Resource?

    If i use the existing OS linux partition and I have getting the 
problem    
    Command 'drbdmeta /dev/drbd0 v08 /dev/mapper/vgroot-LogVol00 0 
create-md' terminated with exit code 40
