Thanks. That was it. I performed a search for drbd.conf across my root filesystem because I figured it was not reading the same configs I had. "No resources" means it's reading something.
DRBD defaulted to /usr/local/etc from /etc. I am running 8.4.3 on Precise now and everything seems to be humming along nicely. I established the full set of steps and implemented them a few times on pre-production servers. Once I locked-in the process I created a DEB package and rolled it out to my pre-production servers permanently and then production. The steps I used were a consolidation of a number of sources on the web. One blog post was about 90% complete; and it wasn't DRBD's instructions. The remaining 10% took about 6 hours out of my day today. :-( In 2 weeks I will be laughing this one off.

I compile 8.3.11 and 15 from scratch on 12.04 successfully but I use an older kernel. Either way difference are listed below: apt-get remove drbd8-source drbd8-utils (if you had the Ubuntu version installed at some point - I did) > > > The steps I follow are below: > > Prerequisities > > apt-get install rpm xsltproc flex git > > Download and install source > > Cd /usr/src > > wget http://oss.linbit.com/drbd/8.4/drbd-8.4.1.tar.gz > > tar xfvz drbd-8.4.1.tar.gz > > Configure and Compile > > cd drbd-8.4.1/ > > ./configure --with-utils --with-km ./configure --prefix=/usr --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc --with-mk --with-utils --with-udev --with-pacemaker --with-rgmanager --with-bashcompletion I probably didn't need rgmanager but doesn't hurt to have. > > > Make > > > make install > > reboot > > > > Help? > _______________________________________________ > drbd-user mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.linbit.com/mailman/listinfo/drbd-user > _______________________________________________ drbd-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linbit.com/mailman/listinfo/drbd-user
