Bug#1004045: drbd-utils 9.15.0-1 uses drbd kernel module 8.4

[Ben Fiedler]

Package: drbd-utils
Version: 9.15.0-1
Release: bullseye (stable)
Kernel:  5.10.0-10-amd64

Hi,

When I install the latest drbd-utils and attempt to configure a drbd device using a version 9 feature (e.g. more than 2 nodes), it fails to work:

# drbdadm adjust all
/etc/drbd.d/your_resource.res:1: in resource your_resource:
        There are multiple host sections for the peer node.
        Use the --peer option to select which peer section to use.
No valid meta data found

I then noticed that the loaded drbd module is not 9 but 8.4.11 from linux-images:

# modinfo drbd
filename:       /lib/modules/5.10.0-10-amd64/kernel/drivers/block/drbd/drbd.ko
alias:          block-major-147-*
license:        GPL
version:        8.4.11
description:    drbd - Distributed Replicated Block Device v8.4.11
vermagic:       5.10.0-10-amd64 SMP mod_unload modversions

# dpkg-query -S /lib/modules/5.10.0-10-amd64/kernel/drivers/block/drbd/drbd.ko
linux-image-5.10.0-10-amd64: /lib/modules/5.10.0-10-amd64/kernel/drivers/block/drbd/drbd.ko

I would guess that either linux-image or drbd-utils packages need to be updated to include and reference a newer module (drbd9.ko)?

I don't think drbd9 kernel module is currently included in Debian, so
you would need to build it yourself or use packages provided by LINBIT.
