Nope. 95 is EOPNOTSUPP, barriers seem to be not supported on your lower level device, so DRBD falls back to "flush" mode. which, because implemented as "empty barriers" probably fail as well, so I guess it falls back further to "drain" mode pretty quickly. That should be no different between 8.3.2 and 8.3.3, though. -- : Lars Ellenberg : LINBIT HA-Solutions GmbH : DRBD®/HA support and consulting http://www.linbit.com DRBD® and LINBIT® are registered trademarks of LINBIT, Austria.
