Section 10.2:
"Also, it is recommended to use some of DRBD’s features for automatic
recovery from split brain. To do all this, include the following lines
in the resource configuration:
...
By configuring auto-recovery policies, you are configuring effectively
configuring automatic data-loss! Be sure you understand the
implications."

If these options incur a risk of data loss, why are they recommended?
I'm wary of recommending that to our users.
