Thank you for your reply. On this topic, consider this paper by Lars Ellenberg : http://www.drbd.org/fileadmin/drbd/publications/drbd8.linux-conf.eu.2007.pdf Where he notes the following : "The most inconvenient limitations is currently that DRBD supports only two nodes natively." While this is not a problem in my theoretical two-server setup, should we wish to add a third server in the future (which i find highly likely), then DRBD will no longer be an appropriate solution. Furthermore, that same paper seems to suggest that DRBD is best used in a primary / secondary relationship, whereas i'm suggesting an "all-primary" sort of setup. -- Daniel Maher <dma AT witbe.net>
