That might be the case, because the "deploy" flag is set after drbdmanage
configured the device using drbdadm (adjust), but DRBD9's connection
attempt runs asynchronously. Therefore, the client may not yet be
connected to a server.
Another potential problem is that the /dev/... devices are created by udev,
which also runs independently of drbdmanage and/or DRBD9, so the
device may not have been created at the stage where drbdmanage sets
the "deploy" flag.
Currently, no elegant solution (like, for example, waiting for an event
or signal)
is available to solve this problem.
