Re: [DRBD-user] DRBD without secondary

After I create the primary /dev/drbd0 with `drbdadm create-md drbd-data`,
how the state is inconsistent and it is Secondary
[root@centos54 ~]# cat /proc/drbd
version: 8.3.2 (api:88/proto:86-90)
GIT-hash: dd7985327f146f33b86d4bff5ca8c94234ce840e build by
mockbuild@v20z-x86-64.home.local, 2009-08-29 14:07:55
0: cs:WFConnection ro:Secondary/Unknown ds:Inconsistent/DUnknown C r----
ns:0 nr:0 dw:0 dr:0 al:0 bm:0 lo:0 pe:0 ua:0 ap:0 ep:1 wo:b
oos:1835322004
When I try to make it primary, it fails because no disk is up to date.
[root@node2 ~]# drbdadm primary drbd-data
0: State change failed: (-2) Refusing to be Primary without at least one
UpToDate disk
Command 'drbdsetup 0 primary' terminated with exit code 17
How do I make it UpToDate and Primary without a Secondary disk up yet?
