I like to have the /var/opt directory to be mirrored on both nodes,
When I try to run :
drbdadm create-md axigenStorage I got error:
===========================================
[root at mail2 ~]# drbdadm create-md axigenStorage
md_offset 994519805952

Found ext3 filesystem
971210752 kB data area apparently used

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)

Here is my drbd.conf:

#
# please have a a look at the example configuration file in
# /usr/share/doc/drbd83/drbd.conf
#
#
# drbd.conf example
#
# parameters you _need_ to change are the hostname, device, disk,
# meta-disk, address and port in the "on <hostname> {}" sections.
#
# you ought to know about the protocol, and the various timeouts.
#
# you probably want to set the rate in the syncer sections
#
# NOTE common pitfall:
# rate is given in units of _byte_ not bit
#
#
# increase timeout and maybe ping-int in net{}, if you see
# problems with "connection lost/connection established"
# (or change your setup to reduce network latency; make sure full
# duplex behaves as such; check average roundtrip times while
# network is saturated; and so on ...)

skip {
As you can see, you can also comment chunks of text
with a 'skip[optional nonsense]{ skipped text }' section.
This comes in handy, if you just want to comment out
some 'resource <some name> {...}' section:
just precede it with 'skip'.
The basic format of option assignment is
<option name><linear whitespace><value>;
It should be obvious from the examples below,
but if you really care to know the details:
<option name> :=
valid options in the respective scope
<value> := <num>|<string>|<choice>|...
depending on the set of allowed values
for the respective option.
<num> := [0-9]+, sometimes with an optional suffix of K,M,G
<string> := (<name>|\"([^\"\\\n]*|\\.)*\")+
<name> := [/_.A-Za-z0-9-]+
}

# At most ONE global section is allowed.
# It must precede any resource section.

========================
Here is the question:
Should I use
http://www.drbd.org/users-guide/s-lvm-lv-as-drbd-backing-dev.html
Mean Should I create a lvm device then I map drbd device on it.
Is there any way that I donot change the partition table,
Mean I donot change size of any partition. or create any partition?
An other question:
What should I place in "disk /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00;" should I use
'disk /sdb2" or "disk /sda2"
I just wnat to have a mirror of /var/opt directory
Thank u
