I do have several drbd volumes instead of one big. Then you can
choose which ones to sync first. And if your volumes are on different
disks, the order can be defined to sync volumes from each disk one
after the other but volumes from different disks in parallel. That way
one can max out a 2x10G connection with three volumes from three disks
all reading/writing sequential, instead of the disk stepping in its own
way by reading from several volumes on the same disk while the other
disks are idle...

And several drbd-volumes can fail-over individually.

Have fun,

Arnold
