I've tested this and its terrible ;) Migration across two drbd volumes
syncing at the same time -- disaster in terms of latency and I/O
speed for the remaining node(s) in the cluster.

Groups of four might work ok provided that the drbd devices are on
separate disks and you are careful always to migrate to an unrelated
machine that doesn't have the standby volume from the source.
