Well, I need a PDC/BDC pair and a HA fileservice. Right now we are looking to install two new servers, with the resources this will use it makes no sense to buy/build 4 servers.... We're going to use OpenAIS+Pacemaker anyway to be able to use OCFS2. The thing is, I'm not sure how the PDC/BDC role integrates in a CTDB fileserver cluster as all the nodes use the same NETBIOS name. Should I go with a Active/Standby figure outside Samba, that is, a DRBD FS mounts in one node at a time; and a regular BDC/PDC pair?
