Yes, we (and Michael) did at Sep  2 00:18:01.

The DRBD-User thread concerning this is 
"8.3.8 Online Verify Oops on kernel 2.6.34"


DRBD Version: 8.3.8.1
HW: HP DL380G6 (1 x Xeon X5570)
OS: RHEL 5.5 x86_64
Kernel: 2.6.18-194.11.3.el5 #1 SMP Mon Aug 23 15:51:38 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

It was nearly the same address (:drbd:w_e_end_ov_req+0x29/0x136) here
and michael had w_e_end_ov_req+0x36/0x154.

 $ gdb drbd.ko -ex 'l *(w_e_end_ov_req+0x29)' -ex q

We do an online verify each night.
Does not reproduce since.

Slightly changed config now.
Switched csums-alg and verify-alg from md5 to sha1
(But the reason was concerning lower hash collisions probability by nearly same speed) 

Kind Regards,
Roland
