So I tried again. I compiled the latest CVS against a 2.6.7 kernel and 
rebooted the secondary computer.

First, I see that CVS has gone back to the -pre8 version number. I'm sure I 
have the latest CVS since I had files with changes dated today, including 
that bitmap stuff and changes to bash and perl scripts. That's not a big 
deal, I guess.

Second, the secondary wouldn't connect to the primary and had lots of error 
messages. I rebooted using 2.6.6 and my older (the first -pre8) DRBD and it 
connected fine.

Here are the errors I got trying to use the CVS version on the secondary:

(sizeof(*p)-s

Jul  7 18:02:44 omega3 kernel: drbd0: short read expecting header on sock:

Jul  7 18:02:56 omega3 last message repeated 1343 times

I got errors like this on the primary as well.

Is it possible this is because I was running -pre8 on the primary and the 
new CVS on the secondary? Do those have to be upgraded simultaneously?

Thanks
Jeff
