There is no drbd daemon. DRBD is an in kernel stacking device driver, configured through userland tools. The second configuration attempt was successfull, the disk was not claimed at that point anymore, so whatever was accessing sdb1 had a short life. > and the above message never comes before today. > likewise the above message didn't came on the other node(node2) Likely something triggered through udev (or other) had sdb1 open at that time. It impossible to determine what had it open at that time, after the fact. -- : Lars Ellenberg : LINBIT | Your Way to High Availability : DRBD/HA support and consulting http://www.linbit.com DRBD® and LINBIT® are registered trademarks of LINBIT, Austria. __ please don't Cc me, but send to list -- I'm subscribed
