Hi,
Thanks for the answer.
I found out that instead of creating the soft links, just copying the drbdadm
and drbdsetup of the user/v9 directory to /sbin was working better. Now there
is no version warning anymore.
So I decided to purge the drbd8-utils package and installed the drbd-utils
from source (now a full make install). I used the 8.9.4 version.
Now everything works fine. So a pity that Ubuntu does not have a package of
this version yet.

Subject: Re: [DRBD-user] Ubuntu 14.04 kernel now has drbd 8.4.5 but
drbd-utils is still 8.4.4 so drbdadm wait-connect fails on
netlink

Hi,
Basically Ubuntu delivers back-ported kernels as part of the official
point releases, so DRBD gets upgraded too.
Usually all 8.4.x versions are compatible with 8.4.y tools, so I'm
suprised you have connection errors.
We did have a problem during the ubuntu 12.04 timeframe because Ubuntu
skipped from DRBD 8.3 to 8.4 - - eventually they patched the tools to
make them compatible with both.
It took them and quite a bit of testing to fix that, so by all means
please file a bug report against Ubuntu.
Anyway, one option you have is to downgrade to one of the previous
kernels (search for packages named "linux-.*-lts-.*").
Another option is to compile the tools on your own, it's quite easy on
Ubuntu.
