The device that holds the replicated data on the respective
node. Use this device to create file systems and mount oper-
ations. Device
The device that is replicated between both nodes. Disk
The Meta-disk is either set to the value
internal
or
specifies an explicit device extended by an index to hold the
meta data needed by drbd.
Meta-disk
When using
internal
, the last 128 MB of the replicated
device are used to store the meta data.
A real device may also be used for multiple drbd resources.
For example, if your Meta-Disk is
/dev/sda6[0]
for the
first resource, you may use
/dev/sda6[1]
for the second
resource. However, there must be at least 128 MB space for
each resource available on this disk.
All of these options are explained in the examples in the
/usr/share/doc/
packages/drbd/drbd.conf
file and in the man page of
drbd.conf(5)
.
