Hi! We have implemented a Linux cluster using virtual servers, http://www.solucorp.qc.ca/miscprj/s_context.hc. We used drbd for data replication. It worked without problems it our test environment, but after about a month of uptime drbd partitions hung twice within a day in our production environment. So we are now looking for a drbd replacement. I have done some testing with enbd and raid1 and it seems to work quite well. I did also export LVM logical volumes using enbd, which seemed to work as well as exporting normal partitions. However, after drbd problems I am bit cautious now. Do you know if there are any problems in enbd + sw raid1 + LVM combination? I am going to use enbd for exporting LVM logical volumes and build raid1 on an exported lv and a local lv. The reason for using LVM is that it allows to take backups against static snapshots. Btw, have any of you use used enbd with evms, http://sourceforge.net/projects/evms/ ? br, Pekka
