Thanks a lot Federico for your quick feedback. I think we gonna follow your way for Postgresql failover management. Just the last question, which kind of load do you have onto your database ?

I continue to recommend this solution to clients who need highly-available PostgreSQL servers. My only qualm with this setup is that one of the two nodes will always be idle, and that's a waste in my opinion. What would be great is if PostgreSQL had an active/active clustering solution that does load balancing and failover on its own. I don't see any acceptable implementation of this at the moment, though, so active/inactive using Heartbeat and DRBD is still the way to go. --> Jijo -- Federico Sevilla III : jijo.free.net.ph : When we speak of free software GNU/Linux Specialist : GnuPG 0x93B746BE : we refer to freedom, not price. _______________________________________________ drbd-user mailing list drbd-user at lists.linbit.com http://lists.linbit.com/mailman/listinfo/drbd-user Our name has changed.
