 Hi All,

I'm new to DRBD. I'm searching around a solution for our enterprise
application that is responsible to save(and manipulate) historical data of
industrial devices. Now, we have two stations that works like hot redundant
of each other. Our challenge is in case of failure. Our application is
running on two totally independent machines and so each one has its own disk
(it can be scale into more machines and even in WAN connectivity in some
projects, but we are following spec that I said before for now).
Applications are writing into many files continiously.
We are searching around a solution like a "high available transparent file
system" that makes the fault transparent to the application, so in case of
fault, redundant machine still can access the files even the master machine
is down (replica issue or such a thing). Is there any feature of DRBD which
can help us in this? Also this is notable that our application is written in
.net so requires windows platform, so we should use virtualization if we
wanna use DRBD.

Regards
