ok

after reading this:

*** NOTE: NFS client is not yet supported in the new OpenSSI 2.6 kernel ***

i guess i have to do something else:

actually we want that every slave node has the ability to get a master node.
as far as i know drbd can only mirror two nodes.

my approach was, that simply change the root file system to a nfs share and
leave the boot
partition on the local machine, but it seems that this isnt working as
expected.

i always thought that when i use drbd, that if the master node goes down,
the next potential node mounts the filesystem and takes over.

did i missunderstood?
