<blockquote> Hello,
I have the following issue with DRBD 8.4. I have also reported it as
a bug for the Ubuntu DRBD package, but after I did some more testing
and used a manually compiled drbd kernel module and drbd-utils, the
issue is still there. So it seems to be a generic DRBD thing.
When you use the same resource for 2 minors, it oops'es the kernel.
Of course you should not do that, but on the other hand a kernel
oops should not be the result. The expected output is just an error
message, I think. This makes DRBD resource/minor management more
difficult and also kind of dangerous.
DRBD 8.3 does not have this problem, probably because it works a bit
different with resources/minors.
Steps to reproduce:
* drbdsetup new-resource test1
* drbdsetup new-minor test1 1 0
* drbdsetup new-minor test1 3 0
It exits showing the message 'Killed'. The kernel log shows some
errors and DRBD is not usable anymore. After a short while or when
executing other drbdsetup commands, the whole system crashes.
I am not sure whether it's the utils package, or the kernel module.
The system is running Ubuntu 14.04 with kernel package
linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic. I have tested the Ubuntu packages for
DRBD (DRBD 8.4.3 / drbd8-utils 2:8.4.4-1ubuntu1) and the manually
compiled combination from drbd-8.4.5.tar.gz and
drbd-utils-8.9.0.tar.gz.

As this is a kernel problem, the user land versions are not relevant.
If I try with my current module 8.4.5, I get
# drbdsetup new-resource s0
# drbdsetup new-minor s0 1 0
# drbdsetup new-minor s0 3 0
s0: Failure: (161) Minor exists already (delete it first)
additional info from kernel:
requested minor exists already
# dmesg | tail
drbd: events: mcg drbd: 2
drbd: initialized. Version: 8.4.5 (api:1/proto:86-101)
drbd: GIT-hash: 1d360bde0e095d495786eaeb2a1ac76888e4db96 build by root@alice, 2014-06-16 13:25:11
drbd: registered as block device major 147
Admittedly that was on a centos6 kernel.
<blockquote> The expected output is just an error message, I think.

Right. And that's exactly what happens here.
I don't know what's going on there with your setup.
I'll try to reproduce with a 3.13 kernel later as well,
but I don't see why that would change anything: it's not supposed to
reach kernel-version specific code paths here, the drbd configuration
interface is catching the double minor already, as seen above.

You should not need to "force" load DRBD.
If you have to, you take the blame if something goes wrong :-/
