DRBD gives the error message "drbd0: local disk flush failed with status -5".
This seems to be this problem reported here by Anders Henke to LKML:

the git commit is cc66b4512cae8df4ed1635483210aabf7690ec27
it landed in 2.6.25 so i'd be happy to close it right away.
or do you want to port it back for etch+half dannf?
