then there obviously is a problem somwhere else.

drbdsetup disk succeeds, so they are talking about the same thing.
drbdsetup net fails with EINVAL.

this can happen if:
     ...
     syncer paramters are wrong.
     ...

 ah, yes. that is your problem.
 you probably mean 100M, not 100.
 sync-min defaults to 200 (this is K),
 you give an explicit maximum of 100 (still K),
 max < min is INVALID :)

so: either give the 100M you mean, or give an explicit sync-min < 100

yes, this should be detected somehow, and give a more usefull error
message. only it never happend before ...

Hth,
