| Description | 
 |  | 
 |   DRBD is a shared-nothing, synchronously replicated block device. It | 
 |   is designed to serve as a building block for high availability | 
 |   clusters and in this context, is a "drop-in" replacement for shared | 
 |   storage. Simplistically, you could see it as a network RAID 1. |
