Hi Kees,

I just tried to reproduce this, but I failed...
What I did:

Intentionally I set up everything, so that a resouce has to be started
from uml1 to uml2. 

uml2:~/d# /sbin/drbdsetup /dev/nbd/0 primary
ioctl() failed: No such device or address
Device not configured
uml2:~/d# /sbin/drbdsetup /dev/nbd/0 disk /dev/ubd/1 /dev/ubd/1 -1 
--on-io-error=detach
uml2:~/d# /sbin/drbdsetup /dev/nbd/0 primary
uml2:~/d# /sbin/drbdsetup /dev/nbd/0 net 192.168.22.12:7788 192.168.22.11:7788 
C --ping-int=10 --connect-int=10 --timeout=60
uml2:~/d# /sbin/drbdsetup /dev/nbd/0 syncer --group=1 --rate=4M

uml1:~/d# drbdadm up drbd0

Of course :)

Hmmm, al_extents gets configured as soon as the device is associated
with its backing storage.

May I ask you how you used drbdsetup/drbdadm to get it to crash on 
this BUG_ON() ?
