Hello,

I have setup a highly available NFS cluster with heartbeat and DRBD as the
central storage for my music library. This is mounted as /media/music on my
liquidsoap nodes. During a simulated error (I turn off one of the
machines), I realized that liquidsoap hangs in the time it takes for the
servers to switch over. After much research, I have come to the conclusion
(from this post: http://en.usenet.digipedia.org/thread/11102/1564/) that I
need to use the add_protocol function to temporarily copy the music file
from the NFS server as a local file. Could someone please explain how to
perform this action as googling around has not led me to much documentation
(I have checked the liquidsoap site, the API documentation as well as the
script examples.)

Am i going down the correct path? Essentially, I require the liquidsoap
node(s) to keep a buffer (time/tracks is ok) of the music that will be
played from the central library and also have a retry/timeout situation
wherein it keeps looking for the central server.

>From my testing, it takes approximately 10-15 seconds for the servers to
switch over.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Please let me know if any
additional information is required.

Regards,
Anand Kapre
