Hi all,<br><br>Where i want to arrive:<br><br>1) having two storage server replicating partition with DRBD<br>2) exporting via GNBD from the primary server the drbd with GFS2<br>3) inporting the GNBD on some nodes and mount it with GFS2<br>
<br>Assuming no logical error are done in the last points logic this is the situation:<br><br>Server 1: LogVol09, DRDB configured as /dev/drbd0 replicated to Server 2. DRBD seems to work perfect as cat /proc/drbd<br>Server 2: LogVol09, Secondary for /dev/drbd, cat /proc/drbd is ok<br>
<br>What i thought to do was to export via GNBD the /dev/drbd0 to import it on a couple of nodes. Using GFS2 as FS for concurrent usage.<br><br>I got to format the GFS2 FS on the Server 1 drbd0 device. But was unable to mount it because gfs_controld wasn&#39;t accepting connections, i discovered that cman manage gfs_controld. In any case i started it manually and discover that it try to use ccsd daemon which i have not installed.<br>
<br>Ok, i do not need to mount it locally so i started configuring GNBD, started manualli the server end stated the export command...again the cman/ccsd problem:<br><br>gnbd_clusterd: ERROR cannot join cman<br><br>Now, what i&#39;m asking: am i forced to use all the cluster stuff cman, ccsd...fence...with this configuration? I would like only to use the tools i need: DRDB, GNBD and GFS2 without cluster facilities.<br>
<br>Thanks<br>Raffaele<br>
