DRBD supports flushes and barriers. You just switch the primary and startup the database. InnoDB will recover as necessary and you are good to go. This is assuming you are using all InnoDB tables(you likely should be).

Ah, that's probably it. ~2004/2005 InnoDB wasn't nearly as popular as it is today, IIRC (but it was there, and was used).

In any case, multiple master with failover setups always worked well in my experience, as long as you take care to track the replication state.
