I mean GFS2. DRBD, mysql and heartbeat work fine in an active/passive configuration.
What really does not fit to my needs is the cluster stuff which i have to use only to be able to mount the GFS2 FS.
I really do not get why i cannot be left free to choose my configuration. So to mount a GFS2 FS i had to install the cluster groups, ok i did surrended to this.
Now when i switch from one to another mysql server it doesn't start the service because of fencing! Ok i do not need fencing, but ok, i tought because it needs it i will set up a xen fence, no i can't beacause the dom0 have to be cluster members and i do not need aand want cluster stuff for dom0...
So i'm escalating problems because i cannot mount a GFS2 FS without all the cluster stuff. I will need to modifice sbin and to write script by myself to use fence_ack_manual, ok it is not suggested but i'm assuming the risk for that.
So if someone have been able to set up a GFS2 mount without Cluster stuff (cman) i will be happy to listen to!
For now i can tell great DRBD and GFS2: two great peace of software.

Hi,
yes, you need to go with the Cluster Stuff...
Regarding your Setup, i got the best experience with drbd + gfs + iscsi
export. GNBD was not as Stable than i expected. Overall Performance was
even worse, too compared with iSCSI.
