First of all I didn't want to start this flame so I've never asked "why would anyone want to use heartbeat v1?". I'm not interested in answer on this question. I asked why particular person decided to use v1 in a particular case. I do not consider a cluster that has to provide a shared IP address, a shared DRBD device, a shared file system and a highly available instance of PostgreSQL as a "simple case". Even more, I think that a cluster like that should never been built in v1 because v1 lacks "monitoring resources" feature so it can't provide highly available instance of database at all. So please let's stop this "general" discussion because it won't get us anywhere. And let's concentrate on the original request if originator is still interested in that. > > --Greg > > > _______________________________________________ > Linux-HA mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha > See also: http://linux-ha.org/ReportingProblems > -- Serge Dubrouski. _______________________________________________ Linux-HA mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha See also: http://linux-ha.org/ReportingProblems
