I am in the process of testing out this same setup at present under Linux
and I have a couple of questions.

1) How large is your Cyrus installation (# of accounts,  # of simultaneous
connections and IMAP spool size)
2) What DRBD protocol are you using A,B or C and over what file system
(EXT2, LVM,& EXT3 ???)
3) Are you using block replicated disks for both your IMAP spool & your IMAP
directory (Mailboxes DB etc)?

Thanks
