Hm? They work as software raid over the network, keeping the data in sync. So, if one fails, the other still has the data and can keep serving it. You can have more than one master[1], if you use a cluster filesystem (GFS/OCFS2/?) or if you just export the redudant block device. Otherwise, use heartbeat/ucarp/... to change the secondary to primary. [1] drbd only supports two peers. drbd+, a commercial version, supports more, I think. -- lfr 0/0
