[Linux-HA] Shared configration files using DRBD

I think it is legitimate to share the configuration files on a shared
disk if you need the shared disk for _that_ service anyway. But for
example I would not put the OpenVPN configuration or the configuration
file of an apache loadbalancer on a shared disk because drbd adds
another dependency to the chain of things that can go wrong. So I keep
the dependencies as small as possible for each distinct service.
