Hello Lars,

Thank you for your extensive reply. The tainted 'F' flag happened after I manually compiled DRBD 8.4.5. I have the same issue with the built-in 8.4.3 version (just did a clean install to test it) and it doesn't have the 'F' flag:

I have tested this issue on several machines, all with different hardware (and also KVM virtual machines), but all running Ubuntu 14.04 with the default (3.13) kernel. It even occurs with a clean Ubuntu install (install Ubuntu Server and the first thing I do is install drbd8-utils and run the drbdsetup commands). It might be in the Ubuntu kernel, I have not tested a 'vanilla' kernel without the Ubuntu patches.

 Hello,
I have the following issue with DRBD 8.4. I have also reported it as a bug for the Ubuntu DRBD package, but after I did some more testing
 and used a manually compiled drbd kernel module and drbd-utils, the
 issue is still there. So it seems to be a generic DRBD thing.
When you use the same resource for 2 minors, it oops'es the kernel.
 Of course you should not do that, but on the other hand a kernel
 oops should not be the result. The expected output is just an error
 message, I think. This makes DRBD resource/minor management more
 difficult and also kind of dangerous.
DRBD 8.3 does not have this problem, probably because it works a bit
 different with resources/minors.
Steps to reproduce:
 * drbdsetup new-resource test1
 * drbdsetup new-minor test1 1 0
 * drbdsetup new-minor test1 3 0
It exits showing the message 'Killed'. The kernel log shows some
 errors and DRBD is not usable anymore. After a short while or when
 executing other drbdsetup commands, the whole system crashes.
I am not sure whether it's the utils package, or the kernel module. The system is running Ubuntu 14.04 with kernel package linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic. I have tested the Ubuntu packages for
 DRBD (DRBD 8.4.3 / drbd8-utils 2:8.4.4-1ubuntu1) and the manually
 compiled combination from drbd-8.4.5.tar.gz and
 drbd-utils-8.9.0.tar.gz.

As this is a kernel problem, the user land versions are not relevant.

If I try with my current module 8.4.5, I get

# drbdsetup new-resource s0
# drbdsetup new-minor s0 1 0
# drbdsetup new-minor s0 3 0
s0: Failure: (161) Minor exists already (delete it first)
additional info from kernel:
requested minor exists already

# dmesg | tail
drbd: events: mcg drbd: 2
drbd: initialized. Version: 8.4.5 (api:1/proto:86-101)
drbd: GIT-hash: 1d360bde0e095d495786eaeb2a1ac76888e4db96 build by root@alice, 2014-06-16 13:25:11
drbd: registered as block device major 147

Admittedly that was on a centos6 kernel.

The expected output is just an error message, I think.

Right. And that's exactly what happens here.

I don't know what's going on there with your setup.
I'll try to reproduce with a 3.13 kernel later as well,
but I don't see why that would change anything: it's not supposed to
reach kernel-version specific code paths here, the drbd configuration
interface is catching the double minor already, as seen above.


 This is the kernel output:

You should not need to "force" load DRBD.
If you have to, you take the blame if something goes wrong :-/
