Just to use exact words, fault toulerancy is not possible with any
FreeBSD/Linux O.S.
F.T. means outage can occur in every moment, but all current operation
will be always completed by other equipments; so there will not be
interrupted/lost operations.
Hmm. Thanks for the tip. Which *NIX os can be used to build an FT
solution then? Solaris? AIX? HP-UX?
You're asking a question that has not easy or compete answer. Fault
tolerant at what level? Do you want to guarantee that _every_ DB
operation competes? What about random file reads or writes? Do you
want to guarantee that two identical operations with the same data
will produce the same result? (That's _not_ the same as the previous
questions...)
So first you have to define your workload, then define what errors you
must avoid or allow, and then define how to deal with failures,
errors, etc.
Then you can start talking about High Availability vs. level of Fault
tolerance, vs. ....
