VMFS + ISCSI + DRBD = Concurrent local write detected!

Hi there,

I've been trying a setup with 2x ESXI sharing LUN from 1x IETD backed by DRBD(primary/secondary) setup, and I keep getting the warning from DRBD

A deep discussion happening on iscsitarget-devel@lists.sourceforge.net involves both IETD & DRBD maintainers suggest this is not a iscsi issue or a DRBD issue, only thing I can think of is the VMFS is actually trying to submit conflicting commands? And interestingly, no matter what vm operation I do, what kind of VM I run, I always getting the same alert (same sector, same size, everything).

So, anyone can explain this?
