Hi everybody,
I am still looking on information or documents regarding DRBD in
active-active mode.
Does anyone could help me ? Thanks a lot.

Fairly certain this is not possible, unless something has changed
recently.  That is, you cannot use DRBD as a distributed concurrently
writable mirror; only one node can be the master of a DRBD device at a
time.

You can do this with GNBD + Cluster Mirroring, though.

According to the DRBD FAQ:

http://www.linux-ha.org/DRBD/FAQ#head-ec4ab5a57e15232e9ac4e12775de5a1b328aeff5

Why does DRBD not allow concurrent access from all nodes? I'd like to use it with GFS/OCFS2...

Actually, DRBD v8 (which is still in pre-release state at the time of this writing) supports this. You need to net { allow-two-primaries; } ...

I have not tried this myself though, but would like to hear the experiences of anyone who has tried this.
