I've been lurking on the list for a while now. I'm hoping to use GFS in a similar situation. I have yet to actually setup GFS at all but I what I was hoping to do is use DRBD and Heartbeat to have a active/passive mirror of the data then use gnbd on an aliased/takeover IP address to export the GFS file system to the rest of the cluster. I have no idea if it will work or not. I also recall that Philipp has said it wouldn't be that big of a deal to make DRBD active/active specifically for this situation. Now that GFS is once again open source there may be more interest in doing the work to make DRBD active/active. It's been quite a while since I messed with DRBD but you may want to look into it. -- Tony Fraser tony@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sybaspace Internet Solutions System Administrator phone: (250) 246-5368 fax: (250) 246-5398
