I'm not sure if this is what he means, but I've assumed that you can not 
prevent data inconsistencies in databases mirrored by drbd.

For instance,
You have an atomic transaction that completes on the primary node that 
writes to multiple blocks
While replicating the changes on the secondary, the primary fails

The database on the secondary, which may become the primary, will have 
inconsistent data, right?
