Hi again,

Thanks for your answers, I will give it a go and post my results.

I am thinking about adding Mon for local hobbit monitoring, but for that to work I would need some "ping - pong" responce from opening a sesion to the deamon. Anybody know what I could send and what I should expect back ?

Hi Brothers,

Just read an article in Linux Journal about using DRDB as a "cluster" filesystem for a redundant installation of sendmail and mysql. This has caused me to think that this could be a way forward as a cluster mecanism for hobbit. Currently I run a rdist job for this and then have a manual intervention for starting up hobbit on the secondary node.

I know from when I last looked at DRDB that the IO performance as a problem with BB but with Hobbit I am prety sure it should work.

I am wondering if any of you have experienced with the DRDB/heartbeat/hobbit and what your impressions are ?
