That was my patch. You could download the Lenny package sources and
apply the patch to that and it might work.

If you are not using multiple primary mode then you'll also need a sleep
in there as qemu races with the scripts and often the node is not yet
primary when qemu wants to open it.

A better patch would be to try for (say) 30 seconds to open the drbd
device, eg try open, sleep if failed then try again. An even better
patch would fix the race properly.
