I have a ~2000 user mailcluster on a rbd blockdevice backed by ceph, it’s distributed over ~8 disks and works without any issues for more than 3 years now. Ceph is not so fast as DRBD but more flexible. I would not expect any issues with DRBD, except for the problem that logical failures (e. g. an accidental rm -rf /va/rmail) means your cluster is dead, whereas with dsync nothing is lost.

Is it stable for dovecot 2.2.27 to implement DRBD (or HAST) on block level for maildir data replication instead of using dsync plugin?
