[DRBD-user] Digest integrity check FAILED. Broken NICs? (DRBD 8.2.4)

Hello,

I'll give a bit of background info first, so please forgive my ramblings.

I am testing a DRBD/MySQL database setup on a pair of dell PowerEdge 2850's.

A few weeks ago I set them up with Ubuntu 7.10 server (32bit) MySQL, 
DRBD, and Hearbeat. However, I had a "OOM Killer" problem which I cannot 
identify so I stripped the machines down and have reinstalled both with 
Ubuntu 7.10 (64bit), MySQL and DRBD(8.2.4) (No heartbeat yet - just 
adding one thing at a time).

This afternoon I noticed my mysqld_safe process was hogging the CPU so I 
killed it off and restarted it, but while I was digging around in the 
logs I found that DRBD has disconnected itself twice today! The Primary 
just logs the disconnection, but on the Secondary the disconnection 
seems to start with these to entries:-

---
[435735.425149] drbd0: Digest integrity check FAILED. Broken NICs?
[435735.425190] drbd0: error receiving Data, l: 4140!
---

The servers are connected with a Gigabit cable directly between the two 
nics (not cross-over, I understand the gigabit spec includes auto 
crossover "magic"!). The cable seems in good physical health.

I have attached some files:- The /var/log/messages and syslog from both 
Primary and Secondary; my drbd.conf; and a few repetitions of /proc/drbd 
after I manually disconnected, generated a 1GB file on Primary and then 
reconnected, to test the sync speed. I work it out to be 88MB second, 
which I think is quite good??? and suggests the network is otherwise 
working OK.

It seems to take less than a second for the whole 
error/disconnect/reconnect/resync, none the less - this still seems like 
a bug to me. Can anyone help me in tracking down the problem?

Thanks
Paul
