Dear all, I'm trying to setup DRBD with heartbeat, but I'm new on this
and I'd like to receive some explanation about timeouts (for now).

By default, wfc-timeout is set to 0, which means that the boot process
could be potentially suspended for an unpredictable amount of time,
waiting until a user intervention happens. As I'd prefer to avoid this
situation, I think that a solution is to set a number of seconds after
which the boot is continued automatically. Can you suggest a "good
value" or a method to get a suitable value? Is it possible to corrupt
data with an incorrect timeout value?

In general I'm experiencing difficulties figuring how heartbeat's
timeout settings and drbd's are related, and if they might conflict in
some way.

Any halp will be highly appreciated, thanks.

Best regards,
Paolo
