Hi folks, to support a HA setup I have a block device mirrored via drbd on 2 hosts (write-through). The drbd Primary runs the NFS service, using a dedicated IP address. NFS is not running on the drbd Secondary. To make this work I have to move several system files and /var directories to a file system on the mirrored block device as well. This is pretty clumsy, it breaks system updates, etc. Question: What if I run the NFS service in a LXC container instead? The idea is to put the whole service as a container on the same block device as the NFS export partitions. In case of a hardware failure on the Primary I can stop the NFS service, make the Secondary to the new Primary and start the NFS service on the other hardware again. Do you expect some serious problems here? Please share your thoughts. Every helpful comment is highly appreciated.
