Hi Benjamin and All, Thank you for your time and your answer. Indeed I managed to proceed with GFS2 and indeed the file system is real time updated on both servers. Now what I do not understand is why we really need DRBD. I am a bit confused since I believed that GFS itself, groups together in a single large file system, physical disk space, spread in the network. But it really does this or not (in which case we need DRBD)? Thank you. -----Original Message----- From: Benjamin Franz [mailto:snowhare at nihongo.org] Sent: Monday, February 25, 2008 1:56 AM To: DRBD-User Maillist Subject: RE: [DRBD-user] primary/primary with ext2 not updating real-time On Mon, 25 Feb 2008, Theophanis Kontogiannis wrote: > Hi someone, > > Thank you for your time and answer, > > You are right no one would want ext2, not even me. It was a typo. > I meant ext3 :) ext3 is not a clustered filesystem, either. It simply is not going to work primary/primary without becoming corrupted. You need to be looking at GFS or OCFS or some other clustered filesystem. ext2 or ext3 (or XFS, or ReiserFS or any other of the ordinary non-clustered filesystems) is NOT going to work primary/primary, period. -- Benjamin Franz Before you get too proud of how fast you are making progress, be sure it is in the correct direction.
