Actually, I think a general sync wasn't previously added in that situation
because it might cause a problem with the filesystem on the faulty DRBD
device itself, thereby causing the problem b) you described.

IOW you want to try to sync filesystems only on the unaffected block devices,
but there's no such granularity in this DRBD facility or in sync(1).

Where did you see this upstream, is this file shipped by them as such or?
Because, again, it contradicts all of their documentation I could find.
