In addition to the kernel oops after a verify, I have also been having some
issues where I was unable to start new processes on one of the nodes (the
secondary from memory).

I just upgraded to DRBD 8.2.5 and performed an online verify which worked fine
and did not result in a kernel oops. Did 8.2.5 fix this, or was it the fact that
there've been a couple of kernel updates in Fedora 8 lately? I'm not sure, but I
am glad that it is working now.

Cheers,
Jeff.
