-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
It is too complex. I do the following: I have a friend who knows (a little) the topology of our network. I write root and users passwords on the paper, put it into the safe, and ask my boss to call him, if something goes wrong... ;) > > I want to setup a redundant mail system using exim with maildirs. > I thought I use two mail servers (one scsi controller each) > and one scsi raid. > > 1. Server1 ---SCSI--- RAID5 ---SCSI--- Server2 > > or to remove the RAID as a Single Point of Failure: 2 RAIDs and 4 SCSI > controllers: > > /---SCSI--- RAID5 1 ---SCSI---\ > 2. Server1 Server2 > \---SCSI--- RAID5 2 ---SCSI---/ > > > In both cases mail is delivered to the users homes into maildirs, > which will reside on the RAID. > Is it possible (case 1) to mount one ext2 partition on two computers at > the same time? > Is it possible (case 2) to run a software raid1 over two partitions (one > on each raid5) from both computers at the same time? > > Please let me know, if I'm heading in the wrong direction. The setup > will be for a team with 20 persons, so there won't be too much mail > traffic. The only problem is, I won't be reachable for 2 months, and > therefore the system should run without the need of a sysadmin. > Well, there is another one - I've only 15 days left to set it up. > > I also thought about using just 2 computers one harddrive each. > The homes on server one are mounted as /home-remote on server 2 via nfs > and vice versa. Both MTAs should deliver each mail twice (into /home and > /home-remote and the pop3/imap servers serve the mails from /home). > If one computer goes down, the other one would have all the mails. > However I think, this becomes really nasty, when using .forward files. > > Any help would make me very happy. > > tia > florian - -- Andrei. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8VumfNJ8kL/cM9QkRAtBeAJ96TlblAIRzClcG5AreqYOjeG2mqQCgtRPg LHQoIxtJoktN8PdHSr69Cow= =OQZI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
