Please don't 'double-post'! You pointed out the same question in your other thread which is still open. I provided an answer in that thread. Keeping relevant things together in one thread only is easier to follow up on it, both for you and for us.
If you feel that this is a problem that deserves a new thread than please mark the other one as solved if you consider it as such using the Thread Tools.
its just that i thought it might be faster to get a reply.

Sorry, I didn't notice you marked the other thread as solved, so I'll just copy my post on that thread here and continue on this one.
Hello,
If you read the links I posted you'll see that drbd8-module-source is provided in drbd8-source (the first link I posted), so you will not find it separately in the repositories. Just install drbd8-source and you'll have what you need. The explanation of virtual package can be read in the second link I posted. Just use this command and you should be fine:
i was kinda confused earlier 'coz i went to the site of drbd and the command given there includes the drbd8-module-source so i was thinking that it's required to have that.
i'll continue installing, then if there's some more problem i'll just post it here.. ^^

Sometimes things can get pretty confusing indeed. I imagine that in an earlier stage the package existed and was needed to provide some functionality. Later on apparently the same or similar functionality got provided by the main source package, so the module became obsolete. I guess that's why it became a virtual package.
If it works you can check the validity of the filesystem with the file command:
Code:
file /partition/yourpartitionname/
As far as I know (and have read on packages.debian.org) the mkreiserfs is only used for building Debian installer images and not on an installed Debian system mkreiserfs-udeb.
