Hi, Does a solution for 2 nodes exists, both with a IDE drive (without more hardware), so that I've a shared "partition" on both nodes r/w accessable? So if one node fails, I can continue on the other node but have the shared "partition" r/w accessable. Or is there a point where I can help to test/code such a solution? (if not, where should it go, into GFS, LVM or gnbd(I think not there)) May http://parisc-linux.org/~jejb/md_bitmap/ help there? (It's the fast RAID1 patch for 2.6.x kernels ... in which only the bits after a disconnect will be transfered.) Any Help is welcome. Greetings Alex//
