These defaults are really bad.

I had this happen to a machine running DRBD yesterday:

block drbd0: PingAck did not arrive in time.
block drbd0: peer( Secondary -> Unknown ) conn( Connected -> NetworkFailure ) pdsk( UpToDate -> DUnknown )
block drbd0: asender terminated
block drbd0: Terminating drbd0_asender
block drbd0: helper command: /sbin/drbdadm pri-on-incon-degr minor-0
SysRq : Resetting

None of this was written in syslog, which it really should have been,
because DRBD on this machine does *not* operate on the root/var filesystems.

This is a state that can be detected, and if so, the scripts should instead
forcefully kill just DRBD, or whatever more limited component.

They really should not default to forcefully killing the entire machine
when they have no tangible proof that DRBD would be vital to it.
