Hello again.

Sorry for the joke, but I cannot help it.
You know the story about "The hare and the hedgehog"?

Anyways,
appart from what I wrote in your thread, and the 
"What causes nodes to become out-of-sync?" thread,
 http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/drbd/users/15081
there is not much else I can say.

You said you have an other cluster, not yet in production, where it did
not occur so far, and you suggest it may be just the missing load that
makes it "appear" healthy.

How about using it as test setup, and generate load on it,
until you can provoke the symptom there, too?

To reverse that, if you cannot provoke the symptom there,
I'd still point to hardware issues on the affected cluster.

Cheers,
