Thanks for the link that was a very interesting article and I am looking at going with that approach and carve and NFS volume from my NetApp filer for the transactions logs between the primary and backup node. The question is any idea on how large I need to make the NFS volume? Also were I can grab the package from for this as well to download and test?

If not what are others doing to safe guard themselves incase their master node kicks the bucket a standby ready to go maybe?
