Re: FreeBSD equivalent to DRBD

ISTR something about a FreeBSD equivalent to DRBD on Linux ie creating a
raid device using disks on different machines, but I've not been able to
locate any info.

Does anybody have any info and or howtos. I am thinking of putting
together a HA NFS server cluster using something like heartbeat with
DRBD.
As all my servers are Freebsd, I would like to stick with it. Any
suggestions?

Hello,

as far as I know there is no such thing. I could refer you to ggated(8)
and gmirror(8), but I suppose this is not what you want. ;-)

Many thanks.

It look like ggated + geom will do at least part of the job. Setting up
the raid part looks fairly straight forward, the question is howto manage
the swop aspect, ie machine a primary to machine b primary. I guess it is
shutdown geom + gated and starting them on the the other machine. I don't
see any way of doing this though. Perhaps I'm missing something.

The exporting the drive via NFS and swopping under haertbeat looks ok to.
It is just the gom + ggated aspect I am not sure about.

Anybody?

Rob
