I noticed around 2 years ago there was some real flakeyness, and I lost
some data on the version then, but since that time, it has been very
solid.  I'm glad to hear other success stories.

By the way, are you using drbd on ext2 or ext3 (or other) filesystems?  I
was having something strange behavior with ext3 even with the newer
version of drbd (as of a year ago, I'm still using 0.6.3, guess I should
upgrade).
