Simon,

thank you so much. I saw a reference to that on the pages about xen and should have realized it would apply to any virtual environment. Doh!

Writing to /dev/drbd/by-res/r1 did it and I now have my first vm ticking along nicely through DRBD and I'm a very happy camper.

Thanks again for the prompt and excellent solution.

Cheers

my host and the LVM volume but perhaps it's writing directly to the LV
and not going through DRBD.

Hi Paul,

What did you configure your VM to use as its disk?
/dev/VirtualMachines/test2 or /dev/drbd/by-res/r1 (/dev/drbd2)?

If you used /dev/VirtualMachines/test2 then that's what's wrong. your reads and writes are bypassing DRBD. The only thing that should be using /dev/VirtualMachines/test2 is DRBD, your VM should write to /dev/drbd/by-res/r1

Cheers,
Simon
