Re: [Xen-users] Xen & DRBD

["Daniel Asplund" <danielsaori@xxxxxxxxx>]

Your "cat /proc/drbd" shows that your drbd resources are primary/primary.
You shouldn't start drbd manually, XEN will take care of that for you.
I am away now so I cannot point you in the direct direction, but have
a look at how you start your drbd processes. You might need to disable
an startup script in init.d
