DRBD is not a database replicator, it is a network block device that can mirror any changes on a HDD partition of machine A to the other HDD partition of machine B (RAID1 over LAN).
with DRBD, you don't have to schedule/cron the mirroring or replication process since any changes on the "blocks" of a given partition will be mirrored instantenously to the other machine.

Hi to All,
Another question, is there a way that you can mirror Server A and Server B...(just like RAID 1....but instead of HD mirroring using single machine...this time server mirroring using seperate machine). For example if I made a modification on server A...let say creating directory ED on server A, this will be automatically done on server B. Any helpful site's with documentation is highly appreciated....thanks in advance
