Hello, Im currently testing a new setup for a HA samba fileserver. This setup is planned like this. +----------+-------------------+------------------+ | | FS1 | FS2 | +----------+-------------------+------------------+ | | Pri | Sec | | reiserfs | /home | | | lv | /dev/vg00/lv_01 | | | vg | /dev/vg00 | | | drbd | /dev/nb0 | /dev/nb0 | | phys. vol| /dev/sda | /dev/sda | +----------+-------------------+------------------+ i can mount /home and read and write data. But when i try to make fs2 primary things got strange. first i tried to switch the drbd state manually: fs1:~ # cat /proc/drbd version: 0.6.6 (api:62/proto:62) 0: cs:Connected st:Primary/Secondary ns:170804 nr:0 dw:65948 dr:170904 pe:0 ua:0 fs1:~ # vgs VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree vg00 1 2 0 wz-- 100.00M 12.00M then fs1:~ # drbdsetup /dev/nb0 secondary fs2:~ # drbdsetup /dev/nb0 primary fs1:~ # cat /proc/drbd version: 0.6.6 (api:62/proto:62) 0: cs:Connected st:Secondary/Primary ns:170804 nr:0 dw:65948 dr:170904 pe:0 ua:0 fs2:~ # cat /proc/drbd version: 0.6.6 (api:62/proto:62) 0: cs:Connected st:Primary/Secondary ns:0 nr:170804 dw:170804 dr:20 pe:0 ua:0 all seems fine but fs2:~ # vgchange -ay No volume groups found also fs2:~ # pvscan -v Wiping cache of LVM-capable devices Wiping internal cache Walking through all physical volumes No matching physical volumes found That leeds me in a state, which makes the fs2 unusable. when i switch back to fs1 all is fine again. Im using the following software components: Kernel Suse-Linux-9.0 2.4.21-99 device-mapper-1.00.05 lvm2-2.00.07 drbd-0.6.6 heartbeat-1.0.3 any hints are welcome greetings Stefan Majer -- x-cellent technologies GmbH _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
