Yes, unfortunately this is quite confusing in the crm shell syntax.
Because a resource-set can only have one specific role, crm shell
creates in this example two resource-sets. One for the drbd resource and
one for the two simple resources.
So you have two sets. Within the "simple" resource-set resB is more
significant then resC (like in a group).
Between the two resource-sets, drbd depends on the "simple" resource-set
(needs to be Master on the same host) and will be demoted as soon as (at
least) resC is stopped or not runable.
