Hi Stanislav,
I really think you should have a look where the problem is. This is not
Proxmox specific at all, so this list doesn't seem the place to diagnose it.
If DRBD guys think it's an upper layer problem, maybe they can point you
to the problematic layer, and then contact the mantainer (probably
someone in kernel development).
I recall from ceph list that there were some barrier problems in kernels
< 2.6.33 . I don't know whether those are fixed in the kernel from RHEL6
Proxmox uses...
Cheers
Eneko

Hi Dietmar,
I did it couple of times already and everytime I had the same answer
"upper layer problem". Well, as we've done this long way up to this
point I would like to continue.
I have just done the same test with mdadm and not DRBD. And what I
found that this problem was reproducible on the software raid too,
just as it was claimed by Lars Ellenberg. It means that problem is not
only related to DRBD but to O_DIRECT mode generally when we don't use
host cache and a block device reads data directly from userspace.
The testcase is bellow.
1. Prepare
dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/mdadm1 bs=1M count=100
dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/mdadm2 bs=1M count=100
losetup /dev/loop1 /tmp/mdadm1
losetup /dev/loop2 /tmp/mdadm2
mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/loop{1,2}
2. Write data with O_DIRECT
./a.out /dev/md0
3. Check consistency with vbindiff
vbindiff /tmp/mdadm{1,2} #press enter multiple times to skip metadata
And here we find that data on "physical devices" is different and md
raid did not catch this.

I still think you should discuss that on the DRBD list.
