Well, you can use the device while the sync happens so I'm not sure why this causes you any real problems. > it seems unreasonable to wait long time for replication of empty partition I do agree that the initial sync could be faster - Linux md RAID-1 with a write-intent bitmap gives you a basically instant initial sync, so DRBD should be able to do something similar, although I'm sure the devs will say why this doesn't already happen.
