Dear all, I was aksed to build up a cluster system on two machines with this configuration: 2 xeon32 processors, SCSI controller(do not remember chipset), 2 70 Gbyte disks, 4 140 GByte disks more(a total of six) The cluster must provide openfiler, and must be a failover(or hot/standby) cluster. Steps taken: i've put the 2 70Gbyte disks on software raid1. I want to use drbd on the 4 disks, to provide data continuity. What configuration should i use? sd* -> lvm -> drbd? or sd* -> drbd* ->lvm? I was thinking of using the second one. Is that better? if yes, why? Is there an obvious reason(which doesn't come in my mind) that makes the second configuration better than the first one? Thank you, Bill.
