Hello,

My cluster had a hiccup today. Primary node was manually soft-rebooted by
someone, and DRBD on secondary node was on a loop trying to start.

I browsed the Filesystem RA, and i see it uses fuser to try and remove
processes attached to the fs. Obviously this didn't work, as fuser does not
return 0. So i ask, what kind of known or hipothetical situation could
originate this problem? I believe i had a bash planted on the fs, but that
souldn't be a problem for fuser -k. I'm also sending  this to DRBD list,
maybe it's something just DRBD related.

Logs showed this when the cluster was shutting down on the primary node:
