Well this is OT for the bacula list, but in practice about the only
problem is when the cluster software fails to unmount the DRBD
filesystem, and that does not happen very often. There are ways to get
it split brain'ed but it usually takes some effort. ;)

The bacula-relevant part is that you don't know which node may be active
when the backup job starts (and as it turns out -- you don't really need
to.)
