I had a similar problem with my drbd datastore, don’t know if it’s the same but I remember that I switched off the “tickless” kernel configuration option and it solved my random crashes.<BR>
Just my 2cent,<BR>

Hi,<BR>
<BR>
Yes I have seen and I know that the module that don't loads correctly<BR>
it's from vmware.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>

Well, so, on the node which is not currently primary, you're not running<BR>
the VMs, right? So, how about trying to see if it does not crash if<BR>
vmware is never loaded at all?<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Yes, i was not running the virtual machine, but vmware was running. Anyway, I have this vmware running in other places without problems, so as half of the world! :)<BR>
<BR>
Yes i will do that too, and i will be investigating and working on changing the virtualization plataform. I know there are much better alternatives, but i don't have much time to try them out. Now i will be forced to have. heheh.<BR>

The problem with the module it's that it complains about it's license.<BR>
Vmware configure script try to load the module when configuring it and<BR>
and it says it loads OK, but kernel complains about license.<BR>
<BR>

<BR>
Of course. vmware is a GPL violation, so the kernel rightfully complains<BR>
...<BR>
<BR>

I'm just remembering now, that centos crew they recently change<BR>
kmod-drbd package politics, before they had one rpm for each kernel they<BR>
sent out. Now the same rpm it's for all the kernels. Can that be the<BR>
problem?<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
</SPAN></FONT></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE><FONT SIZE="4"><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'> <BR>
<BR>
Not sure. You'd see from the logs at boot time - when the modules are<BR>
initially loaded - which module load causes the taint flags to be set.<BR>
<BR>
</SPAN></FONT></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE><FONT SIZE="4"><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'><BR>
Yes, no doubts, it's vmware.<BR>
<BR>
vsock: no version for "VMCIDatagram_Send" found: kernel tainted.<BR>
