It's in an Active/Standby setup - using Heartbeat/HA for the failover.
I've got a crossover GB Ethernet for the replication, and a serial null
modem for heartbeat.  It's failed over on its own several times without
me even noticing it.  I have had a couple of instances where DRBD
doesn't totally start up (one of the 7 volumes fails) but reloading it
manually works every time.

I'm just using NFS, so I can't comment outside of that - but for me it
works great!

Subject: [ale] Redundant File Servers


Hi all,

I have been doing some research about either:
a failover pair of fileservers, possibly load-balanced
across the pair 
or 
a high-availability load-balanced cluster of file servers

I just wanted to know if anyone was already working with a particular
setup or product that they have had success with. I have been doing all
the basic reading / research that I can find via google, tldp, and
linux-ha.org.

I have already found OpenGFS, a Networked Raid 1 type
setup, and supposedly RedHat's cluster management package
has a solution available.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
