You can have them on one DRBD resource too, e.g. if /ha is your mountpoint, you can have /ha/mail and /ha/spool/postfix. > Ok, so I don't want to create a filesystem, because one exists already, > all I should have to do is mount it. Hmm, if your /var is now on _one_ partition and you cannot mirror /var completely, you will need to copy /var/mail and /var/spool to a new partition. But keep in mind, that heartbeat does the mount, if heartbeat is configured. This also needs no entry in /etc/fstab.

You will need a first line <node-name> <service-IP> \ too. Helmut Wollmersdorfer
