So If I don't have real fencing device, I can't get a cluster? My requirement is to synchronized two Samba boxes between remote locations, I can't use rsync because of bandwidth consumption and system processing each time it will run it will go through each file and see if it is synced or not.
While GFS seemed to be the right option, but as two servers are distant from each other I can not have fencing device as it may experience power outage or network failures quite often. What do you guys suggest in such scenario?
