hi all, We are students of the University of applied Sciences in Basel. As a project we are trying to realize a High-Availability Fileserver on Linux. We want to use GFS for our Storage but we are having problems in making it redundant. We are running 2 Samba-Servers that achieve failover through Heartbeat. Ideally, both servers should access the external storage through GFS. We thought we could use the pool_tool or clvm for this, but AFAIK both don't offer any redundancy, right? Is there any way to make GFS-Nodes (preferably through GNBD) redundant, so that a failure of a single node wouldn't affect the whole storage? Of course we could employ RAID 1 or 5 on the nodes themselves but that wouldn't save us in case the whole node fails. Does anyone have any experience with this. Thanks in advance -markus -- Mit freundlichen Grüssen Markus Wiedmer - FHBB
