MySQL cluster is an in memory database. Your Database size is limited by
your ram if I read the documentation properly. Not useful for anything I am
doing.

If you have SAN storage, then you do not need to use drbd for either the
web or
the mysql filesystem.

A suggested configuration would be:

One SAN volume for the apache content.
One SAN volume for the mysql database.

The reason for having two volumes is that it will allow you to config
heartbeat
to run the apache+apache filesystem on one node, and the mysql server +
mysql
filesystem on the other, so you can spread the load.

(There is no technical reason why you can't run drbd on top of SAN
volumes, but
it is another layer of un-needed complexity waiting to go wrong. The
simplest
config you can get away with is going to be the most reliable.)

Cheers,

Guy
