Note: "permalinks" may not be as permanent as we would like,
direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.


The lower device typically holds the drbd meta data, as well as the 
actual block data for the filesystem you install on the DRBD device. So, 
it should not be mounted like a traditional filesystem.
