About drbd and configs. Soon after I posted I realized the complexity of what I was proposing and felt a bit silly, but it's too good an idea to let go.
Now that I have the disk->s/w raid0->lvm->drbd->xfs thing going I needed to address that. The idea is not to just splash all of /var (for e.g.) onto a drbd device, but only the services you are targeting. Then, symlink or mount --bind the parts of /etc that you need only. This older article gives the obvious symlink idea: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/9074 But this script carries it home to the finish: http://www.tummy.com/Community/software/drbdlinks/ This and STONITH take care of HA, so as long as you have a remote backup solution in place you can rest easy if you test it regularly. I know I'm posting my own comment, but this solution for high availability is fun, useful and robust over GB nics. 'fun' for geeky values of 'fun' :-) -- I did pound my head against the desk a couple of times while learning it, but it's awesome to watch it working. ------------------------ Regards, Paul Evans -------------------- m2f -------------------- -- http://www.openerp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=24873#24873 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ Tinyerp-users mailing list http://tiny.be/mailman/listinfo/tinyerp-users
