Hi

I had the same problem. You can try this patch:
http://git.drbd.org/?p=drbd-8.3.git;a=blobdiff;f=drbd/drbd_wrappers.h;h=a9d2ae9390caa84918d690dc668bb2f655d6eac0;hp=84c7dbf6756abe010c13d4780655bd3138562dfd;hb=02a5e87003d4c00e91459a9264eaf88af4d0c07f;hpb=27765b147f6b2da243b527a31fc71e1c19775676

This worked fine for me, but after installing and loading the module, 
I'm not able to write to the mounted drbd disk.

See also the mail from Stefan, earlier this month:
http://lists.linbit.com/pipermail/drbd-user/2011-June/016219.html

There seems to be two bugs:
1. drbd 8.3.10 doesnt work with RHEL 6.1 and up to date kernel (see patch)
2. drbd newer than 8.3.10 results in not being able to write to disk on 
RHEL 6.1 (includes drbd 8.3.11rc2 and 8.4.0rc2, I tested both)!

As I am the second or third to report this problem on this list, has a 
developper any news on that? Thanks!

Joe
