IMHO Heartbeat is not developed anymore. the new thing (some parts derived from Heartbeat) is pacemaker/corosync . It is/will be standard on RH (Fedora,EL), SuSE , Ubuntu and Debian. I'm not a developter but IMHO ceph could(/should?) take advantage from these projects to not reinvent the wheel. ;) - Thomas * http://www.clusterlabs.org * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corosync_%28project%29 * http://www.openais.org -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
