Can DRBD help > me out here? 8-) 'Completely' is not possible, and I would not like it. Think about the content of /proc, or hardware/kernel related messages in /var/log. The only possibility (which I know) to fully sync a root / is, to run it as a guest in XEN or vserver. This means having DRBD and the cluster manager running in the host, and booting the guest at failover. See http://linux-vserver.org/Vserver+DRBD http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2005-06/msg00215.html IMHO there should be a serious need for virtualization. Just syncing the installed packages and the configuration is _not_ a serious reason. Helmut Wollmersdorfer
