I can confirm that the patch from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/drbd-utils/+bug/1866458
against drbd-utils 9.5.0-1 works and fixes the issue for me. Like Denis I'm on Proxmox PVE 6 (buster based) with linux 5.4.44-2 This problem hit me too. Tom
Description: netlink: Add NLA_F_NESTED flag to nested attribute The mainline kernel v5.2 commit b424e432e770 ("netlink: add validation of NLA_F_NESTED flag") imposes strict validation against nested attribute as follow. " Add new validation flag NL_VALIDATE_NESTED which adds three consistency checks of NLA_F_NESTED_FLAG: - the flag is set on attributes with NLA_NESTED{,_ARRAY} policy - the flag is not set on attributes with other policies except NLA_UNSPEC - the flag is set on attribute passed to nla_parse_nested() " Sending messages with nested attribute without NLA_F_NESTED would cause failed validation. For example, $ drbdsetup new-resource r0 Invalid argument This patch adds NLA_F_NESTED flag to all nested attributes.
