Hi Lars/Philipp

Finally found the time to try out the 0.7.4 version on our Suse 9.0 Dev 
Cluster and the results are perfect,
I can now switch between nodes without any data corruption (using a Stock 
SUSE 2.4 Kernel).

Unfortunately I can't move to a 2.6 kernel yet as we use FDDI cards for 
the public network and the
driver for these isn't supported on 2.6, but at least I can upgrade from 
our 0.6.12 cluster on Redhat 7.2
to Suse 9.0 and drbd 0.7.4 and still sleep at night.....


Thanks for all the hard work......

hm. this may have been related to the use of 2.4.x kernel with HIGHMEM.
we had a kernel 2.4+highmem bug fixed with DRBD 0.7.4, so please try 
again,
if you like.

or, of course, use 2.6. kernels, which are what we develop on/for.
