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.

Setting up the raid part looks fairly straight forward, the question is howto manage the swop aspect, ie machine a primary to machine b primary. I guess it is shutdown geom + gated and starting them on the the other machine. I don't see any way of doing this though. Perhaps I'm missing something. 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.

It look like ggated + geom will do at least part of the job. Setting up the raid part looks fairly straight forward, the question is howto manage the swop aspect, ie machine a primary to machine b primary. I guess it is shutdown geom + gated and starting them on the the other machine. I don't see any way of doing this though. Perhaps I'm missing something. 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. Anybody?

As all my servers are Freebsd, I would like to stick with it. Any suggestions? Hello, as far as I know there is no such thing.
