It's possible to configure "serialized resyncs" by setting the 
"resync-after" disk option.

For example, to suspend r1's resync until r0 has completed it's resync, 
you would set the following:

----
resource r1 {
     disk {
         resync-after r0;
     }
...
}

The setting to limit the maximum rate of resync is 'c-max-rate', not 
'c-max-sync-rate'. Maybe that helps, or is just a typo in your email.

If I recall correcly, since DRBD 8.4.0 the 'resync-rate' is used as a 
"starting point" for the dynamic resync controller, so I'm not sure 
setting that will have a meaningful effect.
