If you want to implement a failover solution, you might want to consider using shared storage, e.g. : 1) a HP clustered server with shared data storage; or 2) a XIOTECH SAN; or 3) or a NAS. You can build a NAS using Linux. If you dont want to go the route of shared storage, you can probably use RSYNC to perform replication of data. -- In Peace, Saqib Ali http://tools.tldp.org/search.php <--- Search for Linux HOWTOs _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
