Hiya,
I'm new to Centos but learning rapidly but I have been using FreeBSD.
I'm
trying to setup a HA NFS server using 2 machines. Both machines are
running 4.3 updated to the latest via Yum.
I did yum groupinstall drbd-heartbeat and
yum install kernel-module-drbd-kernel-module-drbd-2.6.9-34.EL to match my
kernel.
The problem I have is that on 1 machine drbd works fine, but when I start
drbd on the other I get an error:
Starting DRBD resources: [ d0 ioctl(,SET_DISK_CONFIG,) failed: Invalid
argument
Lower device is already mounted.
cmd /sbin/drbdsetup /dev/drbd0 disk /dev/hde1 internal -1 failed!
It is not mounted as far as I can tell - df -a only shows /dev/hda and
fstab has no entry for /dev/hde1.
I have also tried deleting the partion with parted and recreating it. I
have also tried using just /dev/hde.
The /etc/drbd.conf is:
resource drbd0 {
protocol C;
on fs1.bathnetworks.local {
device /dev/drbd0;
disk /dev/hde1;
address 10.0.0.1:7788;
meta-disk internal;
}
on shorty.bathnetworks.local {
device /dev/drbd0;
disk /dev/hdc1;
address 10.0.0.2:7788;
meta-disk internal;
}
}
fs1 is the machine I am having trouble with. Any help with fixing this
would be appreciated.

It is network RAID1 ... you can't mount and use the DRBD device on both machines at the same time. It is designed so that if the first machine fails, the second machine / partition is used instead. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

However, with DRBD not running or mounted on shorty, Fs1 still gives the same error. Rob
