FYI, "sometimes" is when the timestamp of the either the script or
the /etc/drbd.conf is newer than the timestamp on /var/lib/drbd/drbd.conf.parsed
(or the latter is non-existant)
So if you have time skew, this might be wrong.

And, we have only recently fixed in 0.6.10+cvs that if you said
drbdsetup net this-ip that-ip C
directly on the command line, and not include explicitly all the
other stuff, than they implicitly reverted back to their very
"conservative" default values, which was a bug.  Now in cvs,
nothing changes implicitly anymore (hopefully).
