All,

  	Assuming I use "meta-data: internal" for both systems and both 
systems are of the same CPU arch, can I start with an initial state of 
synchronized if I manually mirror the backing device for my two DRBD 
mirror components ?

For example, if I have machine-1 and machine-2 and they each have 
/dev/sde1 as their backing device (and using meta-data: internal), can I 
just do:

root at machine-2# nc -l -p 5001 > /dev/sde1 < /dev/null
...
root at machine-1# dd if=/dev/sde1 | nc machine-2 5001 < /dev/null

and have DRBD operate correctly when started on both machines ?
