Re: DRDB risk factors?

per considering DRDB as a replication solution in a failed master node scenario, is there a risk of loosing not only in-flight transactions but alos un-sync'd buffer-pool dirty pages?

If so, how might I minimize this risk ?

If you have DRBD using protocol C and fsync enabled in PG you don't lose a single commit. That is true for any ACID conform application.

Be sure to you have your hardware right. Running DRBD on fsync/fua lying hardware is committing suicide. I can't stress that enough.
