Thanks for the reply.

I have been pointed to a suggestion for improving it here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/drbd8/+bug/1185756/comments/82

It suggests that drbdsetup should check the module version and exec 
drbdsetup83 immediately (i.e. before parsing command options and 
attempting to communicate with the kernel). Apparently this is what 
drbdadm already does.

Regards,

Brian
