My deployment count is currently set to 2. So there are two storage
nodes with a copy of the data.
I think I was looking for the DRBD "Client" mode, which appeared to be
the same as a DRBD Satellite node, with no local storage.
*Satellite nodes* have:
* No direct access to the control volume, they receive a copy of the
cluster configuration via TCP/IP.
* Local storage if it is a normal satellite node
* No local storage if it is a pure client
Otherwise, what exactly is the point of a Satellite node which is a pure
client (ie, no local storage)? What does it add to the DRBD structure?
