For what it's worth, I'm running DRBD with bonding a pair of copper
gig-e connections. I can get a full sync on a quiesced system (no NFS
traffic, etc.) in about 12 hours total. Failover in heartbeat works as
expected.

I've not had any weirdness with heartbeat's behavior, but Phlipp
(ahem. :) ) is right -- What you're experiencing has nothing to do
with DRBD, you might want to poke around the heartbeat lists.

You say failback doesn't work properly, do you maybe have
nice_failback set to on in your ha.cf? If you do, this is the behavior
you'd see; since that's what nice_failback does. :)
