Hi Lucas - happy to share my little bit of knowledge :)
I've got 2 servers - a primary & a secondary. Each has 2 hard drives: the first, /dev/sda, is a typical linux config'd drive. the second, / dev/sdb, specifically /dev/sdb1 is setup to be my cloned partition across the 2 systems. I used package doc's, as well as some I found on howtoforge, to walk thru setting up & configing the 2 systems. I was trying to figure out why HA wasn't working correctly - I brought down the #1, and #2 saw & acknkowledged this, but never mounted the sdb1 partition. The next day, #1 would not boot up without complaining about fsck'g /dev/drbd0 (which is the drbd device for /dev/sdb1). You can see in my last self-followup, where I'm at diagnosing the problem. not sure how much detail you'd like, but in case you do - here's my config files: (lintest = #1; lintest2 = #2) /etc/drbd.conf: ==> resource varb { protocol C; incon-degr-cmd "echo '!DRBD! pri on incon-degr' | wall ; sleep 60 ; halt -f"; startup { wfc-timeout 10; degr-wfc-timeout 30; # 2 minutes. -> 30 seconds } disk { on-io-error detach; } net { max-buffers 20000; # 2048 -> 20000 (play w/ this # for perf) unplug-watermark 12000; # 128 -> 12000 (play w/ this # for perf) max-epoch-size 20000; # should equal max-buffers } syncer { rate 10M; group 1; al-extents 257; } on lintest { device /dev/drbd0; disk /dev/sdb1; address 192.168.1.59:7788; meta-disk internal; } on lintest2 { device /dev/drbd0; disk /dev/sdb1; address 192.168.1.58:7788; meta-disk internal; } } <== on the HA side: /etc/ha.d/authkeys: auth 1 1 crc /etc/ha.d/haresources: lintest 192.168.1.55 Filesystem::/dev/drbd0::/mnt::ext3 /etc/ha.d/ha.cf: ==> logfile /var/log/ha-log logfacility local0 keepalive 2 # change to 1???? deadtime 30 # drop to 10???? warntime 10 initdead 120 udpport 694 bcast eth0 # Linux auto_failback on node lintest node lintest2 respawn hacluster /usr/lib/heartbeat/ipfail <== On Jul 16, 3:30 pm, "Lucas Mocellin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Bob, > > I can't help you with your trouble, but I'm interested in drbd, can > you post your cenario?
