only 0.7+ runs with 2.6 kernel.
which is still -pre, but ETA of rc1 is this month.

any journaled. make sure the journal is internal, otherwise
after a failover, how would you replay the journal?

note that with SMP,
currently ext3 has performance problems unrelated to DRBD.

*my* recent stress test suggest it works, but according to others, it
reportedly still sometimes has strange problems.
