For what it's worth the problem appears to be caused by new (?) SLUB
optimization. Not sure if it's processor related since I'm running a
x86_64 arch system on a Xeon 5482. Anyway, the problem is solved by
disabling this optimization as described here -

<pre wrap="">Hello folks,
I am evaluating DRBD for a possible application and am trying to test a
simple configuration consisting of one mirrored partition on two m/c. My
platform is a fairly vanilla gentoo system.
uname -a
Linux m-1 2.6.27-gentoo-r7 #4 SMP Mon Jan 5 23:57:52 UTC 2009 x86_64
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5482 @ 3.20GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
The relevant section of my drbd.conf is as follows:
on m-1 {
device /dev/drbd0;
disk /dev/sda5;
address 192.1.1.19:7788;
meta-disk internal;
}
on m-2 {
device /dev/drbd0;
disk /dev/sda5;
address 192.1.1.18:7788;
meta-disk internal;
}
The rest of the file is unchanged from the sample provided in 8.0.x. I
originally was using the standard drbd gentoo package, when that didn't
work I downloaded and installed the latest drbd. Both fail. My steps so
far have been to 1) install drbd, 2) load the drbd module 3) create the
metadata and 4) try and attach the resource. This step fails as follows:
No response from the DRBD driver! Is the module loaded?
Command 'drbdsetup /dev/drbd0 disk /dev/sda5 /dev/sda5 internal
--set-defaults --create-device --on-io-error=pass_on' terminated with
exit code 20

I'm not sure what's going on. I can't find drbd_new_device() in the
source so I can't debug this any further. Any help would be much
appreciated. Note, I only have mc-1 at this point since I do want to
verify that the system can initialize without the peer being present.
Thanks,
Nitin

fyi, for what it's worth the partition I am using is as follows:
