Raid over NFS

2006-11-02 Thread aymeric . muntz
hi list!

I am actually seachring a solution for doing raid over NFS.
My need is to have 2 mail servers sharing the same storage.
For redundancy reason, I would like to have a duplicate partition (one on each
server accessible by NFS) and do a software RAID (mirroring) on the other.

Is there a well known and stable solution?
It looks like vinum is not able to do that.

I appreciate any return.

Thanks

Aymeric

We have just set up something very similar, using ggate and gmirror.  
one box mounts the mirrored volume directly while the other mounts it 
via nfs.  If the master box fails then the secondry box can mount the 
file system directly.


I used the following as a basis for the configuration and am adding in a 
heartbeat system so that the backup server can automatically take over 
from the master.
