I don't need the whole documentation, but if you could provide it, it
would be great.

Anyway, how did you solve that targed daemon is supposed to start only
and only if both nodes are in primary state, and are synced (so that
you could avoid any possibility that split brain occur in a state
that both primaries are modified but not in synchronous mode)?

I've written script that checks /proc/drbd state, and it works OK, and
if state is not ok, then administrator must do it manually.

Anyway - I use hw RAID6, so we're yet to see the state of performance...
