This is definitely an interesting thread, and I'd like to hear some input
as well.

I know from my testing that it is possible to add a new drbd device to an
lvm group and use it to grow your filesystem without even shutting down
your mysql instance. That would represent LVM on top of DRBD. I haven't
tried anything with snapshots using this setup (I ran out of space on my
virtual servers and I'm still waiting for hardware to test on).
