I use wmware workstation to run two virtual machines with OpenVZ 2.6.32-042stab108.2 installed on top on CentOS 6.6. I have created another primary partition, /dev/sda4, to configure it as drbd resource. I also created a filsystem on it. The second machine is actually created using the virtual disk of the first one, with changed hostname and eth0 ip address. The drbd configuration file is this: global { usage-count no; } common { syncer { rate 100M; } } resource r0 { protocol C; startup { wfc-timeout 15; degr-wfc-timeout 60; } net { cram-hmac-alg sha1; shared-secret "password"; } on primary { device /dev/drbd0; disk /dev/sda4; address 192.168.18.10:7788; meta-disk internal; } on secondary { device /dev/drbd0; disk /dev/sda4; address 192.168.18.20:7788; meta-disk internal; } } After creating the resource with **drbdadm create-md r0**, when I enter **service drbd start**, I get: Failure: (127) Device minor not allocated. The output of **drbdadm dump all** might be helpful: [root@primary ~]# drbdadm dump all # /etc/drbd.conf # resource r0 on primary: not ignored, not stacked resource r0 { protocol C; on primary { device /dev/drbd0 minor 0; disk /dev/sda4; address ipv4 192.168.18.10:7788; meta-disk internal; } on secondary { device /dev/drbd0 minor 0; disk /dev/sda4; address ipv4 192.168.18.20:7788; meta-disk internal; } net { cram-hmac-alg sha1; shared-secret danuts; } startup { wfc-timeout 15; degr-wfc-timeout 60; } } What is causing this error and how can it be mitigated? Thanks!
