Today I installed the drbd package. I am running SUSE Linux 10.0. The init script for drbd automatically loads the drbd module with 'start' and unloads it with 'stop'. I followed the basic HOWTO (skipping the built/install/etc) here: http://www.drbd.org/drbd-howto.html All I really did was prepare a block device on two machines from their LVMs, edit /etc/drbd.conf using the sample included with the package as a base. I copied /etc/drbd.conf to both machines, edited the firewall to allow the traffic, and then /etc/init.d/drbd start on the first machine showed that it loaded the drbd module and did stuff. /etc/init.d/dbrd start on the second machine and they talked with each other. Finally, I told drbd which one was the 'primary' and it started syncing. It works perfectly for me and is SO COOL. -- Carpe diem - Seize the day. Carp in denim - There's a fish in my pants!
