CentOS packages DRBD in -extra. http://mirrors.ircam.fr/pub/CentOS/5.2/extras/x86_64/RPMS/ Ubuntu has it, including the 8.04 LTS : http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=hardy&searchon=names&keywords=drbd Gentoo has it : http://packages.gentoo.org/package/sys-cluster/drbd As others have already pointed out, it seems present in all if not all major distributions used in any server role. Having it in Fedora/RHEL would provide us with a very nice SAN-like capability (coupled with iSCSI target support). > Also, of people on this list, how many of you use DRBD, in what capacity > and what do you think of it? I've used the CentOS-extra package in master/slave replication as in : http://www.drbd.org/home/mirroring/ It also supports master/master but I've never needed it and it's not recommended to use it anyway. I am seriously considering to use it at work to replicate about 2TB of data (Xen VMs) accross a 4x1Gb/s aggregated link. I have not been able to fault it yet and I will probably have more results in the coming weeks. -- fdc _______________________________________________ Fedora-infrastructure-list mailing list Fedora-infrastructure-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-infrastructure-list
