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

You may want to read this (and following; or even the whole thread):
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/drbd/users/21069#21069

as well as the links mentioned there

So you *possibly* have ongoing data corruption
caused by hardware, or layers above DRBD.

Or you may just have "normal behaviour",
and if DRBD was not that paranoid, you'd not even notice, ever.

Hard to know for sure from the distance.
