Thanks, Rob,
I understand that you use PVE and DRBD only for testing and not in
production, right?

So the only alternative seems to use Ceph, which seems more complex
than DRBD and slower on Gigabit networks? (but the wrong show of
storage occupation doesn't seem to me a big problem).

To upgrade to 4.4 can I use the Linbit repository? Which address is
to add on apt-get sources.list?
I suppose the Proxmox address is to be removed from list, right?
(This will be a problem for people using PVE enterprise repository,
but it's not my case).
Moreover, it's possible, after the sources.list modification, to use
update button in PVE GUI?
Sorry for my maybe stupid questions...
Certain that if Linbit had not created these difficulties ... I am
afraid that the roads between PVE and DRBD will diverge
completelyover time.
