Hi,
i think the closest solution to AVS will be drbd: http://www.drbd.org/
DRBD takes over the data, writes it to the local disk and sends it to the
other host. On the other host, it takes it to the disk there.
The other components needed are a cluster membership service, which is
supposed to be heartbeat, and some kind of application that works on top of
a block device.
Examples:
A filesystem & fsck.
A journaling FS.
A database with recovery capabilities.

Hello,
BTW do you know any software solution that supports asynchronous
replication on Linux like AVS on Solaris ?
Best regards,

The non-SAN option would be to use DRBD (http://www.drbd.org) and put
NFS, Samba, etc on top of the DRBD partition.
