I need to keep 2 systems identical. Mostly e-mail directories, web directories, mysql, etc. The goal here is to have a 2nd system ready to go it the first one starts to exhibit hardware issues. What are options to have this happen? I'm going out on a limb and thinking rsync but I haven't used it past just simple use cases. Can anyone provide some insight for me?
drbd is the live replication system, this does block level replication of logical volumes. rsync doesn't handle changing-on-the-fly stuff very well, especially stuff like a database file system which is undergoing constant random write activity.
but note, the drbd slave copy can't be mounted until drbd is stopped, or all heck breaks loose.
