I have a problem with drbd 8.0.6

I have setup drbd on top of  lvm on two machines with debian etch 
(kernel 2.6.18-4-486). I had write access to the common drbd device by 
both machines. A change (copy of a new file) on machine A can 
immediately be seen on machine B and vice versa.

Now I want to migrate the first machine to production and have installed 
a new kernel 2.6.18-5-686. I have recompiled drbd 8.0.6 against the new 
kernel sources.

But now changes on machine A are not seen on machine B any more.  I have 
to detach B and then attach it again in order to get the new state of 
the disk. This should not happen - hein?

cat /proc/drbd shows that both sides are in sync after I have copied a 
new file to the disk
:
version: 8.0.6 (api:86/proto:86)
SVN Revision: 3048 build by root at sip2, 2007-10-09 23:05:16

Here is my drbd.conf. I had to comment  the lines with incon-degr-cmd 
and group, as starting drbd failed with these commands.

resource r0 {
 protocol C;
 #incon-degr-cmd "echo '!DRBD! pri on incon-degr' | wall ; sleep 60 ; 
halt -f";

 startup {
   wfc-timeout 0; degr-wfc-timeout     120;
 }
 net {
   allow-two-primaries;
 }

 disk {
   on-io-error detach;
 }

 syncer {
   rate        4M;
   #group       3;   # sync when r2 is finished syncing.
 }

 on sip4 {
   device      /dev/drbd0;
   disk        /dev/mapper/Data-data1;
   address     192.168.178.13:7791;
   meta-disk   internal;
 }

 on sip2 {
   device      /dev/drbd0;
   disk        /dev/mapper/Data-data1;
   address     192.168.178.10:7791;
   meta-disk   internal;
 }
}

Does anyone have an idea?


With kind regards
Peter
