Installing DRBD in ubuntu 10.04 LTS

drbd can sometimes pickup 'existing' filesystems even without one being on the sytem. You could of dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/xvda2 (and control-C after a few secs) and it will clear the partition that could of held a filesystem before.

I know this is an old post, but I thought I would provide a solution for those who want/need SELinux enabled. Do this by creating a local SELinux policy for DRBD.

If you grep the '/var/log/audit/audit.log' for "drbd_t", you should see some errors; piping those errors into 'audit2allow' will allow you to generate a new SELinux policy package that permits the previously denied actions. You can then install that policy with 'semodule -i':

# grep drbd_t /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M drbdlocal
******************** IMPORTANT ***********************
To make this policy package active, execute:

semodule -i drbdlocal.pp

# semodule -i drbdlocal.pp

If you run into another SELinux error, you can rerun the above two commands to create/install a new policy package until you have no more errors.
