Yeah, but in most setups you have bunches of drbd-devices, which have to
be in sync. So Splitbrain-Situations will be tricky to fix.
In my setup there s only _one_ drbd-device which has to be in sync...
Also the drbd:-VBD are not so performant (if you have many drbd-devs) as
you only have one device holding _all_ your virtual-disks through lvm.
and finally i can do only online backups through lvm-snapshot...
Just my 2 cents..
But if none of you interested i ll keep that secret ;)
