As Ian mentioned, drbd can be used for this. The guys from Q Linux I believe have already used drbd as a mirroring solution in one of their projects. drbd does not actually mirror your database, but the filesystem itself. For example, all writes on a drbd block device on an active server is mirrored simultaneously on a standby server. Couple this with linux-ha/heartbeat and you have a low-cost high-availability solution. Since this is on a block device level, you can therefore use any database or any application to utilize this mirror. Hope this helps. -- mike at maravillo dot org _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
