We use Linux-ha (http://linux-ha.org) and drbd instead of a shared disk. It plays nicely with Xen. In one instance, we've got two Xen servers, each housing 4 virtual servers in separate clusters, all sharing data with drbd. It works very well. We're also using CentOS, so none of the software used costs anything. Geoffrey wrote: > I'm hoping to put together a simple two machine cluster with some kind > of shared disk.
