Thank you for the response Roland.

I will start going through the source code. In the meantime, it will be
great if these preliminary questions can be answered.

Q: Is Protocol C a variant of any standard atomic commit protocol (like
2PC/3PC etc.)? Or is it a proprietary algorithm?
Q: Let's assume there are 2 disks (D1, D2). Let's assume that D2 is
experiencing a fail-recover situation, but D1 has failed after a D2
failure, but before D2 has recovered. What is the behavior of DRBD in such
a case? Are all future disk writes blocked until both D1 and D2 are
available, and are confirmed to be in sync?

Regards,
Ravi.
