[DRBD-user] Upgrade PVE 4.4 to 5.1 DRB9

[Shafeek Sumser]

Roland, No not the meta package.  Since the meta package point to another
version of the kernel.

The user should install the package that corresponds to its actual kernel
version.  ie  apt-get install pve-headers-`uname -r`
After that the user installs the drbd-dkms.

After all installation done, a simple list directory should have the below:

root at srv3:~# ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates/dkms/
drbd.ko  drbd_transport_tcp.ko

If a restart of the drbd service does not work, then reboot the server.

Ok to add the this hint to the documentation, this will definitely help


A+
