For those brave souls out there you can try the HA features of OpenSSI-1.9.3 for Fedora Core (www.openssi.org). Its DRBD-SSI (based on drbd-0.7.24) supports DRBD root filesystem with the limitation that only the root filesystem must not be on LVM. It is cluster-aware so you don't have to worry about losing IP addresses, etc. LVM over DRBD or DRBD over MD for non-root filesystems has been tested in 1.9.3 and works.
