I cannot see why not. After all, you can mount the file system off a backing device with no problem (aside from completely f**king up DRBD's notion of the data). So mounting it from an image through loop should work to pretty much the same effect. > Another idea might be to have the DRBD metadata simply externally on a > SDD drive, problem solved. Kinda :) If you restore the data to an active DRBD then, this will work fine, but you'll set all Quicksync bits (when StandAlone). No problem with that really - this *would* indeed be the cleanest and most simple solution as far as I can see.
