what makes you so sure about that?
just because you have an "echo >> log" before a reboot does not mean
that echo would make it to disk before the reboot, no?

what does your "reboot-sane" do?

do you have a logging serial console hooked up,
so you would see any last second "sorry, I'm fencing myself" message
from OCFS2?

well, you can, but how about first verify that a newer drbd version
actually fixes it for you?
