Ok, I just tried to create another vserver in the same method as
described above with the only difference being that I created it on a
DRBD block device, and it worked. My skeleton also resides on a DRBD
block device, so it seems that I cannot create a new vserver on another
block device or partition that is not a DRBD block device? I would have
guessed that it shouldn't make a difference.
