Hi, 

with 8.3.7 on two installations with 2.6.32-bpo.5-vserver-amd64 I get quite often
a asymmetric information about consistency. At the moment I have such a state: 

The primary site claims the other side to be inconsistent:
=================
prax1:/usr/local/bin# cat /proc/drbd
version: 8.3.7 (api:88/proto:86-91)

The secondary thinks it is UpToDate:

Who tells the truth? 

The older system running since 3 months (on the same hardware) has had same problem 
at the beginning, say fist week. But never after. In this actual installation I'm 
in the first week. Perhaps DRBD becomes calm and wise after a week like a teenager with 
the 20's oder 30's? 

thx
Ekkard
