I don't have any /dev/drbd* devices to mount on the "Client" node, but I do have them on the control nodes (only the ones with the volume located on that specific node: This is the same on every node: root at san3:~# drbdmanage list-assignments +------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Node | Resource | Vol ID | | State | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | castle | filesrv | * | | ok | | castle | oldNFS | * | | ok | | san2.websitemanagers.com.au | filesrv | * | | ok | | san2.websitemanagers.com.au | oldNFS | * | | ok | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ However, on node san2: san2:~# ls -l /dev/drbd* brw-rw---- 1 root disk 147, 0 Apr 21 21:46 /dev/drbd0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 147, 1 Apr 21 21:46 /dev/drbd1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 147, 100 Apr 21 21:45 /dev/drbd100 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 147, 101 Apr 21 21:45 /dev/drbd101 From your post, I should see that also on san3 (controller node, but doesn't have storage for this specififc volime: root at san3:~# ls -l /dev/drbd* brw-rw---- 1 root disk 147, 0 Apr 21 21:41 /dev/drbd0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 147, 1 Apr 21 21:41 /dev/drbd1 Instead all I get is the drbd internal volumes... Can you advise why it might not be getting the clietn volumes Thanks again for your time and any hists you can provide!
