You have specified the disk and the meta-disk both on /dev/sda2. To do that
(it's recommended) say meta-disk internal.
To do what you say you meant, specify a different partition for the meta data.

Subject: [DRBD-user] Newbie - unable to enable the resource
Dear List,
We are configuring DRBD for the first time using the DRBD manual. We are
planning to setup DRBD on our mail server running on RHEL 6.1 (64 bit), with
the sole objective to replicate the mail store and mail queue from our data
center to the DR site. Both the sites are connected with giga bit captive OF
network.
We have installed the following drbd rpm that was built from the source
drbd-8.4.3.tar.gz :-
drbd-heartbeat-8.4.3-2.el6.x86_64
drbd-xen-8.4.3-2.el6.x86_64
drbd-km-debuginfo-8.4.3-2.el6.x86_64
drbd-udev-8.4.3-2.el6.x86_64
drbd-8.4.3-2.el6.x86_64
drbd-pacemaker-8.4.3-2.el6.x86_64
drbd-debuginfo-8.4.3-2.el6.x86_64
drbd-utils-8.4.3-2.el6.x86_64
drbd-km-2.6.32_131.0.15.el6.x86_64-8.4.3-2.el6.x86_64
drbd-bash-completion-8.4.3-2.el6.x86_64
We plan to have our meta data on a separate partition. The partition was
created with fdisk and is not having any file system created in it. The
configuration files drbd.conf, global_common.conf and maildrbd.res are attached
herewith for your kind reference.
After configuration we were proceeding further as per the manual. While trying
to enable the resources for the first time which are given as follows:-
1. Create device metadata . (drbdadm create-md r0) This step was executed
successfully at both the nodes.
2. Attach to backing device. (drbdadm attach r0). This step is
generating the following error :-
[root@drbdtest2 ~]# drbdadm attach r0
1: Failure: (116) Lower device / meta device / index combination invalid.
Command 'drbdsetup attach 1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda2 flexible' terminated with exit
code 10
[root@drbdtest2 ~]#
This error is being generated at both the nodes. We tried to figure out the
solution using google search but could not make much headway. Would request
your help to resolve this issue.
Regards,
Goutam
