I even seriously doubt that its the RH kernels fault. but you said it is easy to reproduce for you (happens every time...). so go ahead, and try to change one thing at a time, and see when you can no longer reproduce it... rule out the possible causes one by one. > They are both running the same kernel right now (rh 2.4.20-19.9) > and also both running drbd 0.6.12 > > I was hoping I can get away with upgrading the kernel on drbd2 and recompiling > drbd, because I'd hate to bring down the primary file server for a kernel > reboot, and even worse, if the kernel doesn't boot. > > SO as of now I am upgrading drbd2 (the server in question) until I get an answer > from you.. > > Thank you for all your help..
