20	  DRBD is a shared-nothing, synchronously replicated block device. It
21	  is designed to serve as a building block for high availability
22	  clusters and in this context, is a "drop-in" replacement for shared
23	  storage. Simplistically, you could see it as a network RAID 1.
24
25	  Each minor device has a role, which can be 'primary' or 'secondary'.
26	  On the node with the primary device the application is supposed to
27	  run and to access the device (/dev/drbdX). Every write is sent to
28	  the local 'lower level block device' and, across the network, to the
29	  node with the device in 'secondary' state.  The secondary device
30	  simply writes the data to its lower level block device.
31
32	  DRBD can also be used in dual-Primary mode (device writable on both
33	  nodes), which means it can exhibit shared disk semantics in a
34	  shared-nothing cluster.  Needless to say, on top of dual-Primary
35	  DRBD utilizing a cluster file system is necessary to maintain for
36	  cache coherency.
37
38	  For automatic failover you need a cluster manager (e.g. heartbeat).

48	  Say Y here if you want to simulate IO errors, in order to test DRBD's
49	  behavior.

51	  The actual simulation of IO errors is done by writing 3 values to
52	  /sys/module/drbd/parameters/
