Right. Actually, you *can not* do that with multiple volumes within one resource. Or, if you could, that would be a bug. Volumes within one resource are supposed to be active on the same side. > > How many resources can I make? I have 12 so far (one per virtual > > machine.) The machines seem to be coping ok.

Which means you can use up to 256 (or 255, not so sure there) DRBD minors with 8.3. With 8.4, you can use "arbitrarily" many minor devices (one million, in theory), minor_count is a hint only with 8.4, not a hard limit anymore. -- : Lars Ellenberg : LINBIT | Your Way to High Availability : DRBD/HA support and consulting http://www.linbit.com
