Hi Dave,

Now I understand what you wanted to fix ;) I did a patch
that rejects such config files beforehand.

# drbd.conf example
#
# parameters you _need_ to change are the hostname, device, disk,
# meta-disk, address and port in the "on <hostname> {}" sections.
#
# you ought to know about the protocol, and the various timeouts.
#
# you probably want to set the rate in the syncer sections

#
# NOTE common pitfall:
# rate is given in units of _byte_ not bit
#

#
# increase timeout and maybe ping-int in net{}, if you see
# problems with "connection lost/connection established"
# (or change your setup to reduce network latency; make sure full
#  duplex behaves as such; check average roundtrip times while
#  network is saturated; and so on ...)
#

skip {
  As you can see, you can also comment chunks of text
  with a 'skip[optional nonsense]{ skipped text }' section.
  This comes in handy, if you just want to comment out
  some 'resource <some name> {...}' section:
  just precede it with 'skip'.

  The basic format of option assignment is
  <option name><linear whitespace><value>;

  It should be obvious from the examples below,
  but if you really care to know the details:

  <option name> :=
        valid options in the respective scope
  <value>  := <num>|<string>|<choice>|...
              depending on the set of allowed values
              for the respective option.
  <num>    := [0-9]+, sometimes with an optional suffix of K,M,G
  <string> := (<name>|\"([^\"\\\n]*|\\.)*\")+
  <name>   := [/_.A-Za-z0-9-]+
}

#
# At most ONE global section is allowed.
# It must precede any resource section.
#
global {
    # By default we load the module with a minor-count of 32. In case you
    # have more devices in your config, the module gets loaded with
    # a minor-count that ensures that you have 10 minors spare.
    # In case 10 spare minors are too little for you, you can set the
    # minor-count exeplicit here. ( Note, in contrast to DRBD-0.7 an
    # unused, spare minor has only a very little overhead of allocated
    # memory (a single pointer to be exact). )
