It was quick and painless. Following this (instead of the set-gi thing I had mentioned previously) also fixed the issue that I had been having with a full sync being required after reboot. Which is excellent! For what it's worth, I would suggest that this documentation could possibly be made more prominent than it is at the moment. While it is in one of the man pages, I suspect that I am not the only person who is going to overlook it because we're used to using drbdadm as the interface to drbdsetup. I had looked through the drbdadm man page in detail, on top of Google and everything else, but hadn't found this because it never occured to me to look at the drbdsetup page.
