So that path doesn't sound exactly risk-free either. DRBD seems to enforce strict write ordering on both sides of the link according to the docs. I didn't look at the code, but my plug-pulling tests on a busy PostgreSQL server didn't cause any problems. No conclusive evidence, but useful at lease in my use-case.
