[DRBD-user] Adding additional 'node' to DRBD

[Paul O'Rorke]

Thanks Roland,

I am not sure if I should start a new topic for this, but now you have 
me wondering....

I use a classic 3 node setup, LVM backing devices, and a stacked third 
node for DR using Protocol A.  I have a VPN between the main site and 
off-site and the latency hovers around 10ms.

Are there compelling reasons for me to look into DRBD 9?  My current 
setup is pretty solid, so far I have never needed to use the off site 
copies (touch wood).  I have 12 resources (all KVM HA servers) piped 
through the VPN.

regards
