MySQL) doesnt support replication of a table with an auto-increment column. > Also, afaik drbd only replicates whole partitions and not particular > directories. that's true. and that's why you have to place those directories on your target partition. =) > As far as database replication goes, I'm very very happy with DRBD. :) =) -- Ariz C.
