The existing partition I am using is the one for /usr/local.  It is mounted.

*1) Do I need to umount it on both of my nodes?
2) Will it be mounted automatically by drbd?*


OK, I changed the 'disk' on my drbd.conf file to
    *disk /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol03;*

I changed my fstab to:
*/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol03 /usr/local              ext3    auto        1 2
*
I did  the command '*umount /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol03*'

I then tried the command '*drbdadm adjust mysql*' and I get:
Failure: (119) No valid meta-data signature found.

        ==> Use 'drbdadm create-md res' to initialize meta-data area. <==

Command 'drbdsetup /dev/drbd0 disk /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol03
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol03 internal --set-defaults --create-device
--on-io-error=detach' terminated with exit code 10


Then I try the following command '*drbdadm create-md mysql*'
v08 Magic number not found
md_offset 10468978688
al_offset 10468945920
bm_offset 10468626432

Found ext3 filesystem which uses 10223616 kB
current configuration leaves usable 10223268 kB

Device size would be truncated, which
would corrupt data and result in
'access beyond end of device' errors.
You need to either
   * use external meta data (recommended)
   * shrink that filesystem first
   * zero out the device (destroy the filesystem)
Operation refused.

Command 'drbdmeta /dev/drbd0 v08 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol03 internal
create-md' terminated with exit code 40
drbdadm aborting





Thanks,

Néstor :-)
