Hello, We have been waiting for years to have a setup that can replicate our project files between our sites through 2-4Mbit dsl (max 30sek. delay). I read that version 0.8x would have the feature that you can mount the disks from both sites and thus write to the disks from both sites at the same time and the changes would be replicated back and forth. We are looking for the simplest setup first, 2 node active-passive cluster (sles 10, heartbeat) and a DAS disk system connected to both serveres. This setup on 2 different locations with 500km between them (Tinglev, Denmark and Berlin, Germany). We have a dedictated E1(~2mbit) line with about 25ms delay for the data transmission. The disks are about 500GB and the data generated each day is about 500MB, but the data change is a lot more we assume serveral GB/day. Also noteworhty is that we have millions small files (10-50kb). Later we would connect a third site to this setup and replicate between them. Perhaps in the future also use ocfs2 to make it active-active on each site with the 2 node clusters or do I actually need to make use of the clsuter file system now to be able to it in the first place? The main part is that the files are kopied between sites and replace older versions and that when you open a file on one site, that you on another site can se it is opened from someone with the fil-locking feature from dedicated applications such as AutoCAD, which uses .DWL "(DraWing Lock) files are temporary lock files created when a drawing file (.DWG) is opened." So the obvious question ... is that possible with 8.0.1, and has someone by any change a similar setup that has it working? thanks in advance Kristian Knudsen -- Development Manager ------------------------------------- | Tinglev Elementfabrik A/S | Mads Clausensvej 58 | 6360 Tinglev, Denmark | Phone: (+45) 72171000 | Direct: (+45) 72171058 or 72171125 | Mobile: (+45) 20602503 | FAX: (+45) 72171001 | email: ktk at te.dk -------------------------------------
