[DRBD-user] DRBD 9: 3-node mirror error (Low.dev. smaller than requested DRBD-dev. size.)

[Paul Clements]

Thanks for the tip. I tried it, but no luck. Did this on all three
nodes. Same output:

[root at sios0 ~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/dm-0 bs=4k
dd: error writing '/dev/dm-0': No space left on device
18358273+0 records in
18358272+0 records out

[root at sios0 ~]# drbdadm wipe-md r0
There appears to be no drbd meta data to wipe out?

[root at sios0 ~]# drbdadm create-md --max-peers=3 r0

Writing meta data...

success

[root at sios0 ~]# drbdadm up r0
0: Failure: (111) Low.dev. smaller than requested DRBD-dev. size.

[root at sios0 ~]# cat /proc/partitions | grep dm-0

Is there something wrong with my conf file maybe?

Thanks,
Paul
