I've noticed that not so many people out there are running drbd primary/primary - at least according to the list traffic here.<br><br>Now, I'm a newbie at drbd.<br><br>we needed a redundant postfix server with apache and mysql - with primary/primary
<br><br>It seems as though the init scripts aren't updated to support primary/primary - but I could be wrong<br><br>Either way, I make a cludgy fix by adding " $DRBDADM primary all " to the end of the "start)" section in /etc/init.d/drbd . Both machines will now become primary on boot. (normal behavior seems to be to become secondary) Of course, you'll need the proper configuration ( allow-two-primaries )
<br>Of course, if you're using heartbeat, you'll have to change the relevant files<br><br>-BUT-<br><br>the proper thing is to add official support for primary/primary in a reliable manner (with logic, which I didi't use any of :-) to the start/stops script and convince the hearbeat guys to do the same. It would be a great project for someone who has time to give back.
<br><br><br>Lars, just out of pure curiosity - is there support for more than 2 primaries? I mean, if GFS/OCFS2 is managing locking, what is the limiting factor?<br><br>
