yep ;). I've done a "xm shutdown trnagios" before starting it on the second node ;). works fine. i'm so happy! :) i was frustraded the last 2 days because i had configured drbd in many other enviroments without any problems. here i had the focus all time on the filesystem. that was my fault. it was not a drbd problem, more a human problem or yast. :) the day is saved ;).
