Using a pair of nodes with a traditional file system exported by NFS and
made accessible by a floating (virtual) IP address gives you redundancy
without incurring the complexity and performance overhead of cluster
locking. Also, you won't need clvmd either. The trade-off through is
that if/when the primary fails, the nfs daemon will appear to restart to
the users and that may require a reconnection (not sure, I use nfs
sparingly).
But that's a cheap trick: You say don't provide HA-storage (CFS), but use
existing one (NFS). How do you build a HA-NFS server? You need another
cluster. Not everybody has that many nodes available.
DRBD in single-primary will do the job just fine. Recovery is simply a
matter of; fence - promote to primary - mount - start nfs - take
virtual IP, done.
Only 2-nodes needed. This is a common setup.
Generally speaking, I recommend always avoiding cluster FSes unless
they're really required. I say this as a person who uses gfs2 in every
cluster I build, but I do so carefully and in limited uses. In my case,
gfs2 backs ISOs and XML definition files for VMs, things that change
rarely so cluster locking overhead is all but a non-issue, and I have to
have DLM for clustered LVM anyway, so I've already incurred the
complexity costs so hey, why not.
