Hi,

Of course it is- it's one of the major features of VMFS.....

Well, the reason might be that you won't be able to have a drbd
"under" a VMFS.....VMFS is VMware's filesystem on an ESX host. Not
possible to have it on a Linux host. Even if you use a Linux box with
drbd and present it as NFS to the ESX hosts- it won't be VMFS as it's
accessed through through NFS.
