Good point, thanks.

I've seen OOS blocks in the past where storage stack appeared to be fine (hardware wise). What possible causes could there be? Hardware issues, bugs in storage stack including DRBD itself, network issues. In most (all?) cases it seems prudent to me to keep the resources in sync as much as possible and of course investigate once alerted by the monitoring system.

best regards,
Jan
