[DRBD-user] lots of "drbd_md_sync_page_io" in kernel log since 3.15 kernel

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


I am using DRBD active/active cluster as well and have LVM volumes on it.
But I do not have any error messages nor do I have any errors in my VMs which are using qemu/kvm as well.

I am not even sure what my messages are telling me. I am using and external metadata disk.
