the users guide is always for the current release of DRBD,
which is 8.3.1 at the time of writing this email.
the "wo:" thing is only available in 8.3 (since 8.2.something) it was
introduced when the barrier method has been introduced, at the same time
as the explicit "drain" and "none" methods have been introduced.
drbd 8.0 has only the concept of drain,
and since 8.0.9 the "flush" concept.
in 8.0 you can only disable the "flush",
which means you get "drain".
the documentation is correct, though maybe misleading.
drain was the only concept implemented before 8.0.9.
that does not mean all other methods have been introduced with 8.0.9.
e.g. options to disable the flush method again have only been
introduced with 8.0.12. (as written in the changelog)
