DRBD seems like the wrong question being asked. We can already replicate filesystems; many times you can replicate data at the application level (which is the most sensible place to do it); or move redundant iscsi volumes about. There's already some block-level replication in illumos, in the shape of Availability Suite - although that's probably another candidate for burning. Having a real solution for distributed storage would make a lot of people happy. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------------------ illumos-discuss Archives: https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/discussions/T83f198c8597cf8e3-M62bb5c5a0c34801a0e095b99 Powered by Topicbox: https://topicbox.com
