Last night I just completed a two-node cluster running Debian GNU/Linux Woody with some backports from Backports.org to allow it to run Linux kernel 2.6.11.6 and DRBD 0.7.10. The machines are IBM xSeries 345, with 4 x 2.8GHz logical Xeon processors, 2GB RAM, and 4 x 36.4GB 10,000RPM SCSI hard drives in RAID 5EE. They are connected through their e1000 network interfaces by a crossover cable, with MTU for both interfaces set to 9018. The system seems to be fine. Initial synchronization went well, failover works fine, and so far the filesystem has not yet experienced any corruption. Last night I ran bonnie++, and will find out later in the day how the system fares. I'm running bonnie++ not as much to test performance but to test how XFS + DRBD will respond under the load it puts. Can those who have tested the XFS + DRBD combination and gotten into problems share what they did that led to these problems? I'd like to try to reproduce all these and see how the cluster fares. I will let the list know, of course. Thanks a lot in advance. --> 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.
