Hi,

Maciej is saying that md on top of DRBD is nonsense.
Is this because it is not working? :-(

I'm asking because I have an idea of making a three server configuration,
one primary and two standby drbd nodes, using md on top of two DRBD devices
in the primary node. Each drbd device connecting to its own standby node.

Could this work? :-)

Regards Hans.
