Xen users - Aug 2006 - xenU + drbd 0.7.21 don''t create /dev/drbd0

Hello all,

I have a XenU over Xen 3.0. I downloaded and compiled drbd 0.7.21 
(tarball) into XenU. The module starts fine with modprobe command. 
However, the /dev/drbd0 isn''t created. I tested the drbd into xen0 and 
/dev/drbd0 was created.

Howto make drbd works correctly whit XenU?

Thanks!

A little mistake at my question. I would say "Howto make drbd works 
correctly WITH XenU?".

Thanks!

I had an idea and it works fine.

Into XenU, I created the /dev/drbd(0|1) with mknod command. After this, 
I loaded drbd module. Into XenU, the commands sequence is:

To create devices:

# mknod /dev/drbd0 b 147 0
# mknod /dev/drbd1 b 147 1

To check:

# ls /dev/drbd* -l

To load drbd:

# modprobe drbd

To check:

# lsmod | grep drbd

To start drbd at the first time (don''t forget to create /etc/drbd.conf 
before start):

# drbdadm up all
# drbdadm -- --do-what-I-say primary all

To check:

# cat /proc/drbd

It worked fine!
