If you use DRBD on ARM (armel), I would very much appreciate knowing how well

        drbdsetup 0 show

works on your systems.



On my system (two Dreamplugs running Debian squeeze with a 3.0.0 kernel and
drbd8-utils 8.3.11), I get the following failure to interpret device addresses:

        disk {
                size                    0s _is_default; # bytes
                on-io-error             detach;
                fencing                 dont-care _is_default;
                max-bio-bvecs           0 _is_default;
        }
        net {
                timeout                 60 _is_default; # 1/10 seconds
                max-epoch-size          2048 _is_default;
                max-buffers             2048 _is_default;
                unplug-watermark        128 _is_default;
                connect-int             10 _is_default; # seconds
                ping-int                10 _is_default; # seconds
                sndbuf-size             0 _is_default; # bytes
                rcvbuf-size             0 _is_default; # bytes
                ko-count                0 _is_default;
                allow-two-primaries;
                after-sb-0pri           disconnect _is_default;
                after-sb-1pri           disconnect _is_default;
                after-sb-2pri           disconnect _is_default;
                rr-conflict             disconnect _is_default;
                ping-timeout            5 _is_default; # 1/10 seconds
                on-congestion           block _is_default;
                congestion-fill         0s _is_default; # byte
                congestion-extents      127 _is_default;
        }
        syncer {
                rate                    20480k; # bytes/second
                after                   -1 _is_default;
                al-extents              257;
                verify-alg              "crc32c";
                on-no-data-accessible   io-error _is_default;
                c-plan-ahead            0 _is_default; # 1/10 seconds
                c-delay-target          10 _is_default; # 1/10 seconds
                c-fill-target           0s _is_default; # bytes
                c-max-rate              102400k _is_default; # bytes/second
                c-min-rate              4096k _is_default; # bytes/second
        }
        protocol C;
        _this_host {
                device                  minor 0;
                disk                    "/dev/sda1";
                meta-disk               internal;
                address                 [unknown af=512, len=16]
        }
        _remote_host {
                address                 [unknown af=512, len=16]
        }


The address family number "512" is very suspicious to me.  If represented as an
unsigned short, it is "0x0200" which is just a byte-swap away from "0x0002" 
which
is the correct value of AF_INET (ipv4).

This is not the first time that DRBD on armel has had difficulties.  There is a
long thread (http://lists.linbit.com/pipermail/drbd-user/2009-June/012231.html)
of a bug with similar symptoms caused by broken gcc optimisation.

Indeed, when I enable misaligned access warnings with

        echo 1 > /proc/cpu/alignment

dmesg shows

        [1025904.322890] Alignment trap: drbdsetup (12842) PC=0x0000c488

If you have suggestions on how to fix this or simply can confirm that DRBD
works (or not) on your armel systems, I would greatly appreciate your input.

Thanks.
