I guess i shouldn't have used the "should" word :) I think the key fact here
is that i am running the virtual machine on just one node and on top of
DRBD, in any given moment. A concurrency scenario would happen if i'd have
two virtual machines using the same virtual disk file, running each on it's
node, and over DRBD set to primary/primary. Is this something that could
really happen in case of mis-configuration of the cluster and/or lack of
STONITH? 

tks, 
rodrigo
