If your topology is like the following: HDD -> ZFS (ZVOL) -> DRBD -> XFS then I believe it should make sense to always mount at the DRBD level and not at the ZVOL level which happens to be the underlying blockdev for DRBD.<br>

Sure! Directly mounting the DRBD-backing ZVOL would, at the bare minumum, ruin the replication with the peer.<br>
<br>
I was speaking about mounting ZVOLs *snapshots* to access previous data version.<br>
