#2 Re: Debian server redundacy Posted by emeitner (216.153.xx.xx) on Thu 29 Mar 2007 at 18:18 DRBD is not very usefull by itself. Look at Heartbeat ( http://linux-ha.org ) also. For my employer I have most of our production servers running on inexpensive hardware in two-node clusters using Heartbeat and DRBD. Once the kinks are worked out, it performs well. Just be warned that there can be lots of kinks. :) We have quite a few services running on these servers: Samba, NFS, LDAP, Mysql, Apache, Filemaker server. It works quite well for us. Sometimes our users don't notice when a failover happens. We are running Debian Sarge with the Debian heartbeat and drbd packages. We also use the drbdlinks( http://www.tummy.com/Community/software/drbdlinks/ ) package - an invaluable tool - from backports.org.
