I won't have access to the machine again until Monday, but from memory, I 
did:

drbdadm attach all
drbdadm connect all

on both machines, then 

drbdadm primary all

on one, and on that one, tried to make a filesystem.  It hung the kernel 
almost immediately.


Later on, I hit another BUG, also related to the extent parameters, but 
this time it happened right after I made it primary (I didn't have to make 
the filesystem) since it was trying to recover to the other machine.  That 
crashed the sync thread, and /proc/drbd just showed it sitting at 0k/s.  
That BUG I could recover from by just shutting down the device.  And 
ctrl-C'ing out of drbdadm while it was waiting to kill the already-dead 
sync thread.

I will try to get it precisely replicated on Monday.  I wonder if it's due 
to monolithic vs modular?  I'm pretty sure I made the execution paths 
identical for both...
