Hi,
I have two machines in a cluster and want to create a high available samba
share that connects to active directory for user information. The storage is
DRBD and the filesystem is XFS.
I'm using pacemaker as cluster software and using the lsb:samba init script.
I connected both machines to
If I understand you correctly, you are going to deploy Samba as a BDC to
a Windows PDC. This won't work. See section 6.4.2 of the Samba HOWTO
Collection. What you would need to do is set up a Samba PDC with LDAP
and then set up the second box as a Samba BDC with a slave LDAP
database.

This problem has just been dumped into my lap over the last two or three

Hi all,
I've been asked to produce a plan for samba failover for an office with
about 30 2000/XP machines and a few unix servers. We currently have a
FreeBSD single-harddrive SCSI box providing samba, dhcp and dns services.
Reliability and cost are the priorities, in that order, over
So, my suggestion is IDE hardware RAID 1,
Since you asked, I would go with Raid 5. Your load
being 20-30 clients is very light.
is this a standard and good plan?
Depends on many factors as your prereqs are generic
being reliability and cost. I mean thats just about
every ones prereq.
You

The RAID hardware is far below samba (or even the operating
system), by design. The way that a RAID 5 works is that if you lose 1
drive, nothing notices
(except the RAID monitor software, which will hopefully start calling
pagers to
get the failed drive replaced). Samba won't even notice that
Well, I was wondering how to setup samba installations to provide
fail-over for linux boxes that will be acting as a print-server for
windows clients in an NT Domain (windows PDC and WINS servers). I
didn't see any ideas in The Unofficial Samba Howto and the Samba-
HOWTO-Collection. I was
