Yes, I have:

Child process does not terminate!
Exiting.


if I do this:

  ps ax | grep drbd
21789 pts/0    D      0:00 /sbin/drbdsetup /dev/drbd0 net 10.0.0.1:7788 
10.0.0.2:7788 C --sndbuf-size=512k --timeout=60 --connect-int=10 
--ping-int=10 --ko-count=4 --on-disconnect=reconnect
22101 pts/0    S      0:00 /sbin/drbdsetup /dev/drbd0 cstate
22426 pts/0    S      0:00 /sbin/drbdsetup /dev/drbd0 state
25502 pts/0    S      0:00 /sbin/drbdsetup /dev/drbd0 net 10.0.0.1:7788 
10.0.0.2:7788 C --sndbuf-size=512k --timeout=60 --connect-int=10 
--ping-int=10 --ko-count=4 --on-disconnect=reconnect
25665 pts/0    S+     0:00 grep drbd


it seems like process 21789 is the culprit, do you think I can kill it 
without risking corruption/data loss?
