+
+	  NOTE: In order to authenticate connections you have to select
+	  CRYPTO_HMAC and a hash function as well.
+
+	  DRBD is a shared-nothing, synchronously replicated block device. It
+	  is designed to serve as a building block for high availability
+	  clusters and in this context, is a "drop-in" replacement for shared
+	  storage. Simplistically, you could see it as a network RAID 1.
+
+	  Each minor device has a role, which can be 'primary' or 'secondary'.
+	  On the node with the primary device the application is supposed to
+	  run and to access the device (/dev/drbdX). Every write is sent to
+	  the local 'lower level block device' and, across the network, to the
+	  node with the device in 'secondary' state.  The secondary device
+	  simply writes the data to its lower level block device.
+
+	  DRBD can also be used in dual-Primary mode (device writable on both
+	  nodes), which means it can exhibit shared disk semantics in a
+	  shared-nothing cluster.  Needless to say, on top of dual-Primary
+	  DRBD utilizing a cluster file system is necessary to maintain for
+	  cache coherency.
+
+	  For automatic failover you need a cluster manager (e.g. heartbeat).
+	  See also: http://www.drbd.org/, http://www.linux-ha.org
+
+	  If unsure, say N.
+
+config DRBD_FAULT_INJECTION
+	bool "DRBD fault injection"
+	depends on BLK_DEV_DRBD
+	help
+
+	  Say Y here if you want to simulate IO errors, in order to test DRBD's
+	  behavior.
+
+	  The actual simulation of IO errors is done by writing 3 values to
+	  /sys/module/drbd/parameters/
+
+	  enable_faults: bitmask of...
+	  1	meta data write
+	  2               read
+	  4	resync data write
+	  8	            read
+	  16	data write
+	  32	data read
+	  64	read ahead
+	  128	kmalloc of bitmap
+	  256	allocation of EE (epoch_entries)
+
+	  fault_devs: bitmask of minor numbers
+	  fault_rate: frequency in percent
+
+	  Example: Simulate data write errors on /dev/drbd0 with a probability of 5%.
+		echo 16 > /sys/module/drbd/parameters/enable_faults
+		echo 1 > /sys/module/drbd/parameters/fault_devs
+		echo 5 > /sys/module/drbd/parameters/fault_rate
+

+ * At a granularity of 4KiB storage represented per bit,
+ * and stroage sizes of several TiB,
+ * and possibly small-bandwidth replication,
+ * the bitmap transfer time can take much too long,
+ * if transmitted in plain text.
+ *
+ * We try to reduce the transfered bitmap information
+ * by encoding runlengths of bit polarity.
+ *
+ * We never actually need to encode a "zero" (runlengths are positive).
+ * But then we have to store the value of the first bit.
+ * The first bit of information thus shall encode if the first runlength
+ * gives the number of set or unset bits.
+ *
+ * We assume that large areas are either completely set or unset,
+ * which gives good compression with any runlength method,
+ * even when encoding the runlength as fixed size 32bit/64bit integers.
+ *
+ * Still, there may be areas where the polarity flips every few bits,
+ * and encoding the runlength sequence of those areas with fix size
+ * integers would be much worse than plaintext.
+ *
+ * We want to encode small runlength values with minimum code length,
+ * while still being able to encode a Huge run of all zeros.
+ *
+ * Thus we need a Variable Length Integer encoding, VLI.
+ *
+ * For some cases, we produce more code bits than plaintext input.
+ * We need to send incompressible chunks as plaintext, skip over them
+ * and then see if the next chunk compresses better.
+ *
+ * We don't care too much about "excellent" compression ratio for large
+ * runlengths (all set/all clear): whether we achieve a factor of 100
+ * or 1000 is not that much of an issue.
+ * We do not want to waste too much on short runlengths in the "noisy"
+ * parts of the bitmap, though.
+ *
+ * There are endless variants of VLI, we experimented with:
+ *  * simple byte-based
+ *  * various bit based with different code word length.
+ *
+ * To avoid yet an other configuration parameter (choice of bitmap compression
+ * algorithm) which was difficult to explain and tune, we just chose the one
+ * variant that turned out best in all test cases.
+ * Based on real world usage patterns, with device sizes ranging from a few GiB
+ * to several TiB, file server/mailserver/webserver/mysql/postgress,
+ * mostly idle to really busy, the all time winner (though sometimes only
