Each DRBD network packet starts with a DRBD specific header.
That header contains a "magic" number, a "command" id,
and a payload "length".

All three of them are apparently zeroed out.
So yes, that pretty much looks like your network path
somehow managed to zero out at least the start of a packet.


The asserts below are "boring", and the code has since been fixed to no
longer trigger those.

I recommend to upgrade to 8.3.15,
enable "data integrity checksumming",
run an online-verify,
and see where that gets you.
