Hi,

yes, /dev/VolGroup00/storage is a LV. This is our DRDB device. We configured 
DRDB as dual primary. So /dev/VolGroup00/storage is equal on both nodes. In 
serveral Documentations they said that you have to create a pvs/vgs/lvm on DRDB 
device to use gfs. So this the point where we got stuck. The DRDB Device is in 
sync. So no problem in this configuration. But when we try to create a pv on 
the device (actually the lv) this doesnt work. I thought if i create a pv/vg/lv 
on one node, its automatically created on the second node. Is this right?

Best regards

It looks there is something I didn't catch from your messages, among them I 
think I missed the DRBD thing.
 
The /dev/VolGroup00/storage are physical devices (pv's) ? 
 
Strange naming as it confuses me to have a VG (VolGroup00) name in it, I tend 
to read this naming as being a LV (storage being a LV in VG VolGroup00...).
 
Anyway, if possible to have such names for PV's, are you saying that they are 
different physical devices on each nodes, the one on node1 being the source 
device of your DRBD setup and the one on node2 being the destination of your 
DRBD setup ?
 
I don't know much DRBD to help you, but were you expecting DRBD to create the 
VG storage automatically on the destination PV on node2 ?

>/dev/VolGroup00/storage is my drdb device. I created it on different vg.
