Hi,
I'm trying set up a redundant iscsi server using drbd but it seems I'm
unable to get the os to recognize the partitioning of the drbd device:
[root@storage2 ~]# fdisk -l /dev/drbd1
Disk /dev/drbd1: 1073 MB, 1073672192 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 130 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/drbd1p1 1 25 200781 83 Linux
/dev/drbd1p2 26 50 200812+ 83 Linux
[root@storage2 ~]# ls -d /dev/drbd*
/dev/drbd /dev/drbd0 /dev/drbd1
I've already rebooted both nodes but the device nodes never show up in
/dev. Is there anything special that needs to be done for this to happen?
Hmm, it's more common to make your DRBD a PV for LVM, but this should
work too.
Have a look at kpartx.
While kpartx works I'm wondering why it is necessary. I would expect
/dev/drbd1 to behave like a regular block device and the partitions to show
up if not after writing the new table then at least after a reboot.
Eventually I will probably go for an LVM setup but since this is supposed
to become part of a pacemaker cluster and I'd like to build this up one
step at a time I'd first like to get a filesystem on a regular partition
going before I add the LVM layer in between.
Regards,
Dennis
