the initial sync of the 8TB starting volumes is looking to be a 460 hour 
affair.   yeouch.  I might have to rethink this.

I also haven't investigated yet if drbd devices can be 'grown' ... pause 
replication, lvextend slave and master, xfs_grow the master, and resume 
replication?     or is that too easy and it won't work...
