Hello,

I just saw on the raid-list a rather critical bug that might be interesting 
for drbd as well:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=164696

There's also a bug fix from Andrew Morton:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=5394&action=view

A quick grep in the drbd sources showes that drbd uses this function, so I 
suggest people check if there kernel is affected. Referring to Andrew Morton 
2.6.9 is not, but 2.6.12.3 is, I didn't find a description when this bug went 
into the kernel. Well, I just took a look myself, 2.6.10 seems not affected, 
but 2.6.11.12 definitely is, so I guess this bug first came in with 2.6.11.

As we are using drbd, lvm and raid1 (well not all together), I will update our 
server as fast as possible.

Regards,
	Bernd
