Note: I'm using sysv-rc, not systemd.

At startup, a warning is issued:
/etc/init.d/drbd: line 148: /var/lib/linstor/loop_device_mapping: No such file or directory

Since drbd starts and ends without issue, I guess that directory is usually not needed.

Maybe it would be a good idea to add a check for the existence of the

I've submitted a fix upstream, with any luck it's accepted and will end up in Debian in the next 3-5 years.

Should have said "then will end up in Debian in the next 3-5 years", poking fun at how slow the uptake of things is in Debian.
