Shared File System Master/Slave with DRBD

[Greg Eckert]

Hey Mark,

You should be able to use drbd with something like NFS without a 
problem. The LINBIT engineers are in the process publishing an NFS Tech 
guide... For current official documentation, feel free to contact me 
directly.


Best Regards,

Greg

Greg,

Thanks for the reply. I just wanted to confirm a couple of things.

1) The NFS requirement is so that DRBD can be used in Primary/Primary mode
as the file system needs to be writeable from both nodes?
2) With NFS I would also need to use Pacemaker to make the NFS server HA?
3) Is the NFS Tech Guide listed at
http://www.linbit.com/en/downloads/tech-guides what you are referring to?

Thanks,
Mark

Shared File System Master/Slave with DRBD

[Mark Anderson]

Is it possible to use DRBD with shared file system master/slave instead of
a SAN?

Slide 30 at http://www.slideshare.net/ceposta/activemq-59x-new-featuressuggests
this is the case but I haven't been able to find very much
information online.

Before spending time trying it I wanted to check if it was possible and if
there are any known issues. Any pointers to documentation or guides online
would also be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark
