[DRBD-user] Failed to create meta-data for DRBD volume

Hi Gabor:

Thank you for your reply.

I'm sorry about that.
I copied and pasted from the LINSTOR documentation.
When I created the storage pool, I used the right syntax.

Sorry for the confusion.
Yes, I created the pool before.
I understood that the question said if I created the lvm volume (English is not my native language)


Regards

Daniel

Hello,

there are a few things that confuse me quite a lot:

first: 
> for n in alpha bravo charlie delta; do \
> linstor storage-pool create $n drbdpool lvmthin pve/drbdpool; \
> done

This is a _very_ old linstor syntax for creating a storage pool. For the last several months (at least!) you have to do something like 
linstor storage-pool create lvmthin $n drbdpool pve/drbdpool


second:
>>Did you actually create  the LVM thin pool you want to use? LINSTOR does
>>not do that for you.

> I did not create the LVM thin pool, because LINSTOR does it.

as Roland mentioned correctly, Linstor does NOT create the thin pool for you. You have to create the pve/drbdpool on your own. Linstor will only create the lvm-volumes within that given pool for you, but not the pool itself!
