Yes, or certainly with a setup that has not been tested. The DRBD
dual-master feature was something I was unaware of since I have not
looked at DRBD for years.

It would seem to work for shared storage but you also need the OCFS2
distributed lock manager feature working for CTDB's lock recovery to
work.

In the steps I used and documented, the biggest problem was with
getting the DLM running for OCFS2.
