I don't think so, since drbd as such works as expected.

I don't want live migration, this is why i wrote non-live in the
subject ;)

Which catches? Where is this documented? I thought all you have to do
is use drbd block scripts and xen will take care of everything.

Yup, that works, I'm just worried of what happens to the disk if
someone starts VMs on both ends.

Ivanisevicu, pokusaj se za promjenu drzati teme i replicirati na ono o 
cemu sugovornik pise. Osim sto je tvoje pracenje "koji me vrag zapravo 
muci" off-topic na Linux grupi, radi se i o zabadanju njuske u moje 
privatne stvari. Vec si pokazao nedostatak dobrog odgoja no ovo granici
