Thanks.... this was set up by someone else and I just do basic 
maintenance on it.

Definitely not Linstor, and I'm not aware of drbdmanage, which is not 
btw installed.

I have this udev rule:
KERNEL=="drbd*", IMPORT{program}="/sbin/drbdadm sh-udev minor-%m", 
NAME="$env{DEVICE}", SYMLINK="drbd/by-res/$env{RESOURCE} 
drbd/by-disk/$env{DISK}"

but I admit I have no idea what to do with it :)

thanks
