My portuguese is a little rusty (there does not seem to be an english version), but I see that he uses drbd 0.8. That is the the caveat I suppose, that it can be done with drbd 0.8.x, not 0.7.x, correct? Do you have any idea of when a production-ready version of 0.8.x could be expected? As far as the apps go, I was going to use the shared partitions for network shares (file storage and propagation etc), and also Courier Imapd. I don't forsee any problems with the files, and as far I have understood, Courier Imapd with its maildirs (instead of spools) should not have any problems either. Please correct me if you think I'm wrong :) Thanks Alec Diego Julian Remolina wrote: > Yes that is possible, depending on the application you want to run. > For example it may not be doable for e-mail unless the MTA you are > using knows how to share a mail spool.
