+.SH DESCRIPTION
+MARS is a kernel-level asynchronous replication system for block devices.
+It is tailored for long-distance replication and through network
+bottlenecks.
+By default, it works asynchronously (in contrast to DRBD).
+.br
+More infomation on concepts and differences to DRDB can be found at
