Hi!

I have a question: DRBD can only handle two peers (not three). When planning a 
dual-primary configuration, one might imageine having a block device on three 
cluster nodes where CRM picks two of them to run a dual-primary DRBD. Obviously 
the third unused one will have obsolete data. I guess if one node fails, CRM 
will pick the so far unsused node to start DRBD and overwrite the obsolete data 
with current ones. So no data should be lost.

The scenario where data will be lost would be:
One node has a problem to keep the data up to date. Then we have two nodes with 
non-up-to-date data. If the good node now fails before any of the other nodes 
are synced with current data, some current data will be lost.

Did I get the basics right so far? Would onyone recommend such a setup? Has 
anybody running such a setup in a realistic productive environment?

Regards,
Ulrich
