I have a pair of systems running RHEL6 w/ DRBD, cman/pacemaker and 
clvmd. They worked happily for about 6 months on RHEL6.0. I applied 
updates to the systems today taking them to RHEL6.1 (as of about a week 
ago). They are running the 8.3.8.1 release of DRBD, both before and 
after the RHEL kernel update. Both boxes have kernel paniced since the 
update (specifically when I tried to resolve a split-brain issue in 
drbd), so I'm working on tracking down the specific issues - This seemed 
like a good place to start. My DRBD resource is attached to an LV on the 
local disk of each box.

When they boot I get the following trace:

block drbd0: Starting worker thread (from cqueue [1928])
block drbd0: disk( Diskless -> Attaching )
block drbd0: Found 4 transactions (8 active extents) in activity log.
