I've found this howto, using the heartbeat package from the linux-ha project. http://www.slackworks.com/~dkrovich/DRBD/ It should be quite simple to do a failover with a vserver, if you have the same configuration. Put your VSERVER_ROOT on drbd, or some other replication mechanism. Call "vserver XXXXX start" on the standby system if the heartbeat to XXXXX fails and send some notification to the admin. If you are using debian, you can experiment with: # apt-get install -t unstable drbd drbd-source heartbeat util-vserver I'd suggest to use the the vserver-1.27 kernel patches from http://www.13thfloor.at/vserver/s_release/v1.27/linux-vserver-1.27.tar.bz2 and 2.4.26 from kernel.org. You have to build your own kernel with the drbd module in drbd-source and the vserver patch. Hopefully, you will not get any rejects. If you want to use reiserfs you should apply the data logging patches from chris mason from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mason/patches/data-logging/2.4.25 prior to the vserver patch. If not, I'd suggest to use ext3, which does data=ordered by default. -- lg, Chris _______________________________________________ Vserver mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
