I know thismay sounds a bit crazy, but... here goes: I realy need to drbd my "/" block device.I have a basic understanding of drbd and most examples I've seen so farpoint to drbd'ing a specific partition apart from the "core" OS partitions like "/", "/var";I don't know if drbd'ing the "/" partition is acutally an impossibility"just because" or if there are ways to work around this and make the kernel be able to boot the drbd and mount the root filesystem on it. Like I said: I really don't know if this is a simple thing or a very complex workaround or even totally impossible. My problem is simple: boss want's it :)Any pointers or some light on the matter would be very much appreciated.Cheers JoaoI've read before on this list it is near to impossible. But I wonder what would happen of you would put something on DRBD and to a pivot root to it.
I'm not an expert by any means, but the first major hurdle I see is : How would the secondary node operate if it can't have / mounted? Perhaps you're talking about running primary/primary, which I don't have direct experience with.
