Hi list, 

i have to add a new DRBD-volume to our production cluster.

This are the steps I would do:

- create a new partition on both cluster nodes (fdisk)
- reboot both machines, so the kernel knows about the new partitions
- edit the /etc/drbd.conf and add the new resource (both nodes)
- create internal metadata with drbdadm create-md
- bringing the thing up with drbdadm up (both nodes?)
- doing the initial sync with drbdadm -- --overwrite-data-of-peer
primary
- create a filesystem on the device
- use it!

Did I miss something? 

Will I have to create new special device files in /dev/ with mknod and
if so, what is the correct command for this?

TIA
Florian
