Hello,
I have a 'pseudo' High Availability SMTP system consisting in two
servers
running cyrus 2.2.5.
The main problem I have is that only one of the two nodes can access
to the
mailboxes in order to keep the integrity of the cyrus databases
despite the
filesystem (GFS) has support to allow to two different servers access
in R/W
mode.
I am curious about this statement... What kind of locking is being
used on
GFS that prevents two nodes from accessing mailboxes without
destroying the
integrity of the cyrus database?
yeah, that's what I asked me too.
Unfortunately I haven't had the chance right now to test such a setup with
multiple cyrus-instances upon the same shared GFS-filesystem.
Both Cyrus instances would use the same databases, only the lock-files
for the
imapd's and popd's would need to be different I expect.
Has anybody ever had such a setup in production use using Linux and GFS ?
I haven't even tried it, but are very interested in it.
What "integrity"-problem do you mean exactly, David. Have you already
expirienced
a problem ?
regards
