No, you don't have to use a physical device , you can use partitions.
But the first time you want to promote a drbd device as primary, drbd
has to know first which is the one that will act as the master.
On the node that will act as a master for the initial full sync (only
one time), you'll have to use the `drbdadm -- --overwrite-data-of-peer
primary all` command.
On previous drbd (< 0.8) , the command was : `drbdadm -- --do-what-I-say
primary all` but the command was changed (see the drbd website)
You're right, it's missing from the wiki page and that will be updated
to reflect that ...

Thanks for having reported that .. :o)
