Hello Chris,

Are there any problems from treating all services like this -
(postfix/dovecot/ftp/etc), as long as I dont try share data which is
specific to each machine?

I think it is legitimate to share the configuration files on a shared
disk if you need the shared disk for _that_ service anyway. But for
example I would not put the OpenVPN configuration or the configuration
file of an apache loadbalancer on a shared disk because drbd adds
another dependency to the chain of things that can go wrong. So I keep
the dependencies as small as possible for each distinct service.

Yes, that makes sense.

I was thinking in the case where the service's data files are required to be shared anyway, then sharing the configs can't harm anything.
