In 7 or 8 years of running several DRBD pairs I had split brain about 5
times and at least 2 of them were because I tugged on the crosslink
cable while mucking around the back of the rack. Maybe if you run a
zillion of stacked active-active resources on a 100-node cluster DRBD
split brain becomes a real problem, from where I'm sitting stonith'ing
DRBD nodes is a solution in search of a problem.
