direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.

Yes, you can use an iSCSI target as an underlying block device for DRBD.


Personally I would use DRBD to replicate storage between two servers,
and then export the DRBD device as the iSCSI target and use a
cluster-aware file system if you wanted to connect multiple servers to
the iSCSI target - I wouldn't necessarially use an iSCSI target directly
for DRBD.
