I have upgrade my test/development system to 2.6 to a drbd-0.7 cvs version plus vserver devel patches some month ago. Some of the older snapshots in cooperation with heartbeat and some quite strange crashes and unexplained failovers managed to massively corrupt the reiserfs based drbd partitions. I'm currently in the process of testing the system with 2.6.8-rc2-bk1, drdb-0.7 cvs current and vserver 1.9.2.5. Upgrading 0.6.12 to 0.7.0 is not trivial. 0.7 needs storage for a metadata bitmap. This can either be on a different partition or at the end of your drbd volume. If you choose to use the inline version, YOU NEED TO SHRINK your old filesystem by 128MB BEFORE upgrading.
