Does anyone here use DRBD 8 on top of LVM? I have a ~1TB file system (full of small files, < 50K) that I would like to take backups of but I'd like to do the backup on the secondary machine if possible. My thinking is that I can take an LVM snapshot of the drbd device and then mount it and do my backup there. This way, I'm taking advantage of the secondary that is sitting there and not doing any reads to its disks. I have not tested this at all yet and I am not even sure if this will work. Does anyone do anything similar to this? Thanks, Jeff
