Hello all, I would like to set up a High Availability Linux Server running Redhat 6.2, LVS, heartbeat etc. This machine will provide Highly Available file storage and print services to my network of both UNIX and NT clients. The filesystem that I want to export from the server will need to be RAID 0+1 i.e. a mirrored stripe. My first question is: "What software do I need to use to create my RAID 0+1 mirrored stripe of disks?" Also, is it possible to make it a journalled filesystem - hence will avoiding an fsck of a huge partition and improving data integrity. My second question is: "How can I share the above RAID device between two hosts simultaneously?" My assumption is that it is possible to set the scsi initiator to a different value for the two machines. I presume then that you can connect the disk pack to both hosts. It is then just a case of unmounting the disks from the primary host when it fails and then re-mounting them on the backup host.
