direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.


Hi Felix,

Unfortunately there aren't any logs from the failure.  When I restarted the server it went into recovery mode because it couldn't mount the drbd disk.  At that point the filesystem is mounted read-only.  I had to remount the / partition read-write and remove the drbd mount from fstab, then reboot again to get the machine back to a working state.  The only logs I can offer are from trying to start it now.

The addresses are definitely present.  I can ssh to them from my workstation.  That same configuration was working right up to the reboot also.

that's perfectly fine.

Indeed. Your provided info so far is pretty good, what would be even
more helpful are kernel logs at the time of failure.

One question to rule out the obvious:

Are these addresses indeed present on the respective machines?

Cheers,
