If you mean what about gndb instead of DRBD, i'm not aware that gndb provides replication;  I thought it was just a way to access a remote block device.  I believe RH is working on enhancements to CLVM to provide cross-node replication, however.

I believe with the 2.4 kernel, Redhat has recommended layering MD
(mirror disk) above a local disk and a remote GNBD disk for some time.
 I have not tried it, but the goal is similar to drbd.  I don't know
if this is still recommended in the 2.6 kernel series.
