Just want to verify Posgresql works on DRDB

Hi, I just wanted to verify that there is nothing wrong with storing a Posgreql database on a DRDB partition.  I read some old emails about there being problems, but the more recent ones seem to imply it should work fine.

I'm using two SUSE SLES 9 servers with Heartbeat to fail over some custom services and Posgres.  I am using "type C" communication on DRDB.  There have no modifications to Posgresql, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to force fsyncs. So far everything works fine, though I havent done much testing on indexed tables.

Are there any extra precautions I should be taking?

(I posted this on the DRDB list, and thought I better ask here, too, no responses there yet)

thanks!
