redundancy.
Has anyone tried to run AFS on top of drdb (http://www.drbd.org/)?
It seems to me that AFS would be unaware that it was running with
a network distributed redundant block device under the /vicepx
filesystems.
The namei fileserver is unaware of the file system and device it's
running on.
True. However, you cannot run multiple fileservers backed by the _same_
filesystem at the same time -- the AFS fileserver stores large amounts of
state in-core, and having two fileservers running against the same vice
partition at the same time would be a sure way to trash the contents of
that partition.
