Hi all,

I was upgrading one of our older DRBD pairs from 8.3.2 to 8.3.7 today
and ran into a bit of a problem.  I took the resources on the
secondary down, upgraded the kernel & DRBD, rebooted and brought the
resources back up again.  One of the resources on the secondary
refused to reconnect to the primary server however the other 15
connected and resynced fine.

Here's the log for the resource
"""

"""

It looks like it's handshaking and agreeing on a common protocol fine,
but then disconnects with a message to the contrary.  Has anyone run
into a similar situation?

Cheers,
Tim
