Another possible option would be to use DRBD (http://www.drbd.org) along with OCFS2 which would allow you to run DRBD in "dual-primary mode". I know of a few people that are using this setup on 2 node web clusters and it works very well for them. However I don't know if you can run this with more than 2 nodes. The user guide for DRBD can be found here http://www.drbd.org/users-guide/ Cheers, Elliott Perrin Senior Systems Architect Summit with Tenzing Direct: +1 877 767 5577 (x405) Web: www.tenzing.com email: elliott.per...@tenzing.com _______________________________________________ Ocfs2-users mailing list Ocfs2-users@oss.oracle.com http://oss.oracle.com/mailman/listinfo/ocfs2-users
