I think ggated and gmirror won't satisfy you because I'd like to call 
ggated experimental. Furthermore it is not intended for those tasks, 
because it is kept very simple. A better scenario for the current 
implementation of ggated is to mount a remote CD filesystem locally.

If you really need DRBD then stay with DRDB and linux.
