dear all,
I have a drbd cluster with two nodes: C21 and C22. Now I want to add a
third node C23 into existing drbd cluster.
Here's how I did it:

1. drbdadm down r0
2. drbdadm apply-al r0
3. drbdadm dump-md r0 > r0-md
4. edit the r0-md:

     4.1 increased the number "max-peers" from 1 to 2.
     4.2 add the bitmap at the end of the dump file

     bitmap[1] {
        # at 0kB
        4096 times 0x0000000000000000;
     }

5. drbdmeta 0 v09 /dev/vg1/lv1 internal restore-md r0-md

6. The first time I success, but second time report an error

How can I do it?


Thanks
