[Bug 1185756] Re: drbd8-utils not compatible with linux-lts-raring kernel in 12.04

[Stefan Bader]

@Numérigraphe,

thanks for the quick testing. To answer the question from #12 first: The
version used by that package depends on the version of the kernel. So
just upgrading kernel to 3.8 (or later) and booting with that kernel
will cause the 8.4 utils part to be used. This unfortunately does some
automatic change to the on-disk meta-data (as mentioned above). So while
upgrading the kernel causes no issues, trying to boot back into an old
kernel will cause a failure to bring up the drbd device. It looked to be
possible to force it back but then caused a complete re-sync.

I think you might have meant to say to 8.3.10. Yes it seems kind of odd
as I would have expected the latest version in Raring to contain also
the latest legacy version. Need to check whether there was smaller
update in Precise and whether that can easily be merged.
