Hello list!

I searched trough the archives, but didn't find any similar things...

I have a setup with two cluster nodes (debian SID) and 3 drbd devices on the
nodes. They run a plain 2.4.26 kernel with drbd 0.6.12.

Nodes are named debian1 & debian2 - also connected through a crossover cable
(drbddebian1 & drbddebian2).

Sometimes, when i reboot the secondary node and it comes up again, i got
following message when drbd is starting in the bootup sequence:

    "ERROR: Minor for /dev/nb2 'drbd2' not found in /proc/drbd"

... and drbd2 goes into unconfigured state or sometimes didn't appear in
/proc/drbd....
... drbd0 & drbd1 are always ok and never had problems!

After an manual "/etc/init.d/drbd restart" all went fine...

All minors i think are at there right place (on both hosts):

}

I also tried such things like deleting the content of /var/lib/drbd/* and so
one...
Anyone has an idea, what can cause this bootup failure?
