Or you could cross-export the block devices with iSCSI (or ATAoE) and have them connected to all the nodes that way. I guess it depends on whether you prefer to use DRBD or CLVM. My preference is for DRBD, but don't let that bias your decision. :) > > Gordan > I reckon GNBD will be a better solution in your case, DRBD is more suitable for non-cluster file systems (e.g. ext3, xfs .. ) in case of active-passive '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' Abraham Alawi Unix/Linux Systems Administrator Science IT University of Auckland e: a.alawi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx p: +64-9-373 7599, ext#: 87572 '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
