Doesn't daemontools.lrp avail for Bering and Bering-uClibc fit your needs?

Please note that quagga is available for Bering-uClibc (compiled against 
uClibc) on the 2.x packages page  - last entry named "zebra.lrp".

Even that means you have go with a late beta/rc2, I think this setup is less 
experimental than using libc225.lrp... the current changes between the rc2 
version and upcoming 2.0 are just two bugfixes (weblet and shorewall with 
ipv6 enabled) - so the current rc2 is close to final version.

Sweet!  Load-balancing & VRRP on CF-IDE disks, remote logging through
syslogd.  8-D.

Yes, I ran into the same problem.  The Keepalived developer, Alexandre, told
me this around the end of January:

"The problem is the OpenSSL, libpopt, that use dynamic libs... We 
must find a way to compile statically OpenSSL libssl & libmd5 into 
Keepalived binary."

So -- Keepalived uses libbsl, libmd5, and libpopt.  Any uClibc guys want to
have some fun?

If I remember correctly there is another bug with the init script that
doesn't allow a restart to work properly.  Unfortunately it's been too long
since I've had to actually do any maintenance, so I can't say for sure if
this is still the case.  Does /etc/init.d/keepalived work ok for you?

Ah, doh.  Well I'd be interested in helping out, if you're still looking for
help,  (If you can pry me away from my latest game craze Diablo II ;-).
People have made comments about LVS in a LEAF system, so there is definite
interest.

BTW does anyone know of a daemontools-like package for LEAF?

Cheers,

Peter

RE: [leaf-user] LEAF HA using keepalived

2003-10-29 Thread Charles Holbrook
Funny you should ask.  I have keepalived 1.1.3 built out using the
libc225 and it seems to be working.  All I did was compile the binary
and move it into your kpalived.lrp package.  I did compile it with ipvs
enabled, and am getting ready to get back into testing it.  There was
quite a bit that I had to do to get it to work.  The major thing was
recompile the kernel enabling all of the ipvs features in there and
building out the modules(not being a developer by nature I consider this
alot of work).  The binary itself seems to work ok.  In fact I am
getting ready to push it into production without using the ipvs
functionality.

I was not able to get it to compile against uclibc due to my lack of
technical knowledge, but the only reason to do so would be to remove a
couple lrps from boot, however using a 32mb CF disk made that a moot
point.

There are a couple other things I have done with keepalived.  One of
them was go in and change the /etc/init.d/keepalived script to look at
the hostname to reference the actual config script.  This allows me to
store more than one keepalived.conf and easily change the function of
the machine itself.  I am not yet comfortable releasing it to the group
until I have done a little more to test it out.  Hit me up next week and
I should have finished everything I need as far as standard
high-availability.  The actual virtual server pool however is a
different story.  I have no confidence in that portion of it whatsoever.
I am working on a doc on my personal time from notes to help out in
actually compiling the kernel with to enable ipvs.  It is yet another
project on my plate a little lower than some other things.

John, if you have any questions regarding which modules I used to get
leab-bering-uclibc to work with a CF disk email me and I will give you
any pointers that I can.

I've taken so much from this group I am actually excited about being
able to give something back, now if I could just convince the developers
that ipvs is something that should be added into the kernel, life would
be great.
