This bug was fixed in the package drbd8 - 2:8.4.3-0ubuntu0.12.04.1
---------------
drbd8 (2:8.4.3-0ubuntu0.12.04.1) precise; urgency=low
* Backport version from 13.04 so that the utils will handle the
changed in-kernel drbd module from the LTS Raring kernel
(LP: #1185756).
* Activate legacy command support by adding --with-legacy_utils to
debian/rules.
* Comment out "options" section in global_common.conf as testing
showed problems in the backport.
* Forward port the adjust_with_progress shell function from older
versions of the utils and add the path to legacy utils to PATH.
* Adjust legacy version to 8.3.11 as the code looks to be at least
that version or later.

Title:
drbd8-utils not compatible with linux-lts-raring kernel in 12.04
Status in “drbd8” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in “drbd8” source package in Precise:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Request for SRU:
[Impact]
DRBD will not work (hang) on fresh install using Ubuntu 12.04.3 media, and
will stop working on sites where the Raring Enablement Stacks is manually
installed as the API between older and newer drbd kernel modules has changed.
[Fix]
The current version of drbd8 utils in Saucy/Raring can be compiled with
legacy utils enabled (basically drbdadm and drbdsetup) and automatically
switches to use the legacy version when an older kernel module is found.
Comparing the code of those two legacy tools showed them to be mostly the same
(except some things that actually look like bug fixes).
I only found two small issues, one was the init.d script which was changed to
use a new command of drbdadm to activate resources. This would fail if drbdadm
fell back to the legacy version. So I picked the shell function that the
current util uses and verified that this still works with the new binary.
The other problem was the default config file which contained a new open
which would cause the legacy util to fail. It does not seem to be a required
one in the new tools to commenting it out by default seems to work in both
cases, too.
Lastly (this did not seem to be a real issue) the legacy tools claimed to be
a version 3.8.10 while the the code really looked like the 3.8.11 version we
have in Precise. Since that also matches the version number of the drbd module
in Precise I modified the legacy tools version to be 3.8.11.
[Test Case]
For testing compatibility with the Precise 3.2 based kernels, either just
install the prepared package and verify everything still works as before
(before installing any HWE kernel). Or if already having installed a HWE kernel
and experiencing the issue, boot into the 3.2 kernel before installing the
proposed package (or follow the downgrade instructions before booting back).
To test functionality with HWE kernels, install the Raring kernel in
Precise, install/configure DRBD: you get "No response from the DRBD
driver! Is the module loaded?". With the proposed backport the mirror
continues to work. Only for switching back to an older kernel a
special procedure must be followed (see comment #21):

I've just installed linux-generic-lts-raring on 12.04.2 and my drbd device
stoped working.
Seems like drbd8-utils is not compatible with DRBD 8.4 in Kernel 3.8.
I see that we can't upgrade the package since this would break compatibility
with the older Kernels in Precise.
But since the new Plans for the LTS-Enablement Stack [1] there should
be a package like drbd8-utils-lts-raring. And the dependancies should
be resolved automatically with apt.
