DRBD, After my discovery of the 'stalled' problem I later found a solution: I changed my protocol from 'B' to 'C' and the problem went away. I would therefore suggest that there is a bug in the 'B' protocol in version 8.0.2. For reference, I am using a 32 bit SUSE 10.1 brand new install, compiling DRBD from source.
