(think seek time for meta data updates). so sdbX if your storage is on sda. with LVM and a number of pvs, you can specify an explicit pv on lvcreate. this is of course not neccessary, but may improve performance. suprisingly, it is not neccessary that the device minor numbers and the order of resources in the config file match. that is why there is an explicit "device" line in the disk section of the resources. but to avoid confusion, one should probably not "randomize" these things. there are precompiled heartbeat and drbd packages, so you don't neccessarily need to bother with compilation and dependency problems yourself. the interessting Howto links are http://www.linux-ha.org/DRBD http://www.linux-ha.org/QuickStart07 http://www.linux-ha.org/GettingStarted -- : Lars Ellenberg Tel +43-1-8178292-0 : : LINBIT Information Technologies GmbH Fax +43-1-8178292-82 : : Schoenbrunner Str. 244, A-1120 Vienna/Europe http://www.linbit.com : __ please use the "List-Reply" function of your email client.
