Your old one or mine ? >He talked about his. Your setup is fine. You can use the DRBD devices directly as disks for VMs, it is in fact a great practice with dual-primaries. Using a file on a filesystem for the VM disk will add considerable overhead and complication. How can a dual primary solution works, when i install the VM's in a plain lv ? Don't i need a cluster aware filesystem (like OCFS2) for a dual primary solution ? Bernd
