Note: "permalinks" may not be as permanent as we would like,
direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.

The rs_pending_cnt is an internal counter that should be 0 or positive.
In case it is smaller than 0 it does not harm the operation of DRBD at
all.

But, we are very interested in how you got DRBD into that. We want to 
reproduce that there. Could you provide more context please ?

Is it dom0 or DomU ?
How many cores ?
Logfile context (~20 Lines) before and after the start of the 
online verify, from both nodes.

Thanks!
