#25 Re: drbd Posted by Anonymous (82.146.xx.xx) on Sun 12 Feb 2006 at 16:48 Probably not adding much to the discussion, but: DRDB + GFS seems like a waste of processing power to me, from a design point of view. DRDB just makes sure you have your block level stuff redundant. GFS just makes sure you have a common (shared) block device, and allows multiple systems to operate a filesystem on it concurrently. (correct me if I'm wrong...) Now, both in itself a are really great feats (and I don't want to dimish the accomplishments of those projects in any way), but wouldn't it be better if we just had a filesystem-level replication? Like a nfs-client doesn't need to care about the filesystem on the remote side, the FS replication client (and possibly server) don't need to know about the specifics of the filesystem involved.
