[DRBD-user] Clairifcation on primary/primary

[Martin Gombac]

For all versions of DRBD up till 0.7.24 which i have used i can tell  
you that DRBD does NOT support mounting the same resource +rw on more  
than one node.

Dunno for 0.8.* yet but i think it still doesn't. :-)

Right now i would say you have a split brain setup. :-)

Regards,
M.
