Hi I have been investigating heartbeat + drbd for high availability servers, and have the following question:
Are there any potential downfalls from sharing service configuration
files between machines, by placing the configs on the shared drbd disk?
My config has /srv as the drbd (active-passive) mount point, and I am
failing over the samba service.
I have created /srv/samba/etc and /srv/samba/cache.
I symlinked /etc/samba to /srv/samba/etc
I symlinked /var/cache/samba to /srv/samba/cache
This ensures that runtime configuration, and config files are always in
sync between the two.
Are there any problems from treating all services like this -
(postfix/dovecot/ftp/etc), as long as I dont try share data which is
specific to each machine?
Chris
