Thanx Johannes, that did it.

I have now got a newly built 
drbd-km-2.6.25.16_0.1_default-8.2.6-3.i586.rpm on OpenSUSE 11.0. It used 
to be the secondary in a 0.7.14 on OpenSUSE 10.0 x86_64 pair that broke 
down. It had to be re-installed, and I then installed it completely new 
with the newest drbd on the newest OpenSUSE with a larger RAID5 as well.

Is there a way to mirror the two even if the versions are different with 
0.7.14 as primary and 8.2.6 as secondary, or do they have to be 
identical versions?
What is actually the best way to upgrade a mirrored system from 0.7.14 
to the newest version 8.2.6, when the volumes also change size.

TIA

:-)

Al
