[DRBD-user] how to separate

[Atıf CEYLAN]

Hi all,
I have four disk arrays (raid 5) that each of which is 1.8TB and
consisting of 12 disk volumes. I will use DRDB with OCFS2. I want to
separate the to use as volumes. I think it might cause high CPU usage if
each "resource" contains a volume.
I want to minimize the crashes and split-brain problems. I don't want to
have to synchronize my all volumes by DRDB when, for example, my first
server crashes and starts up again or if there be a disk problem on
runtime. 
So should I insert all volumes of each disk into the same resource in
the configuration file or not?

For example,

resource disk1{
.....
  volume 0{ disk /dev/sdb1 } #200gb
  volume 1{ disk /dev/sdb2 } #200gb
.....
}

resource disk2{
.....
  volume 0{ disk /dev/sdc1 }
  volume 1{disk /dev/sdc2 }
.....
}
and another disk conf.
##################

or

resource disk1{
.....
  volume 0{ disk /dev/sdb1 } #400gb
  volume 1{ disk /dev/sdc1 } #400gb
.....
}

you suggest me which one of these?
