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

That could still be true. Looking at the "Send-Q" (via 'netstat' or 
'ss') on DRBD's TCP socket, or the IO state flags (flag #5) in 
'/proc/drbd', while IO is blocking would probably tell you.

I would just verify that the version you have installed is newer than 
the commit with the fix. The, "GIT-hash:", in '/proc/drbd' is the commit 
from which the source was compiled.

Hope that is helpful.
