Unfortunately not.
Allthough you can mirror a filesystem over the network using a 
combination of ggate and gmirror, the automatic resynchronisation in 
the right direction and failover features of drbd are missing.

The exporting the drive via NFS and swopping under haertbeat looks ok to.
It is just the gom + ggated aspect I am not sure about.


I think ggated and gmirror won't satisfy you because I'd like to call 
ggated experimental. Furthermore it is not intended for those tasks, 
because it is kept very simple. A better scenario for the current 
implementation of ggated is to mount a remote CD filesystem locally.


If you really need DRBD then stay with DRDB and linux.

Thanks,

I have a setup using heartbeat and Freebsd which uses rsync to keep the
drives in step. The only problem is that rsynce is run as a cron job which
makes balancing the Cron Invervals with the run time of rsync a bit hit
and miss.

Having read up more on ggated, I may try it on some spare machines and
drives I have lying around. I take your point about it being expermential
though but as I see it it is about the only thing I need that FreeBSD is
week on. ISTR GEOM Started that way too. Perhaps it is something I can
help FreeBSD with so I can give something back.

As all my servers are Freebsd, I would like to stick with it. Any

Hello,

as far as I know there is no such thing. I could refer you to ggated(8) 
and gmirror(8), but I suppose this is not what you want. ;-)

Can you run the linux prog on BSD with linux binary compatibility turned on?

GEOM Gate by Pawel Dawidek is what you want.  I don't think it's in
the tree yet, but patches are available.

See:

Note that this is experimental code so don't entrust anything valuable
to it.

Linux has a thing called drbd which is a block device that allows the 
duplication of data across a network.  The system writes to the local disk 
first then the remote disk keeping them in sync.

Is there an equivalent in FreeBSD or is there one planned or is there another 
way of going about things that gives similar results.
