No, I want full r/w access even when iSCSI is disconnected, then a
resynchronization (full resync is fine) when the iSCSI volume is back.
I'm not going to be using this in a cluster scenario at all, so DRBD
need not worry about split-brain situations, as nothing will be writing
to the volume on the iSCSI side besides DRBD.  Essentially, the iSCSI
(backup) side will be a read-only copy used for restoring files and DR
recovery scenarios.
