I just read the (excellent) document on setting up NFS storage with DRBD and Pacemaker: <http://www.linbit.com/en/education/tech-guides/highly-available-nfs-with-drbd-and-pacemaker/> What's in that guide is not the way I did it. I'd like to know if I made a mistake. In my current Pacemaker+DRBD+NFS cluster, I export directories by editing lines in /etc/exportfs on the server, and have a cron job copy /etc/exportfs from my primary to my secondary in case I make any changes. The NFS server is under the control of Pacemaker. Initially I had problems with failover, and conclude (wrongly?) that the issue was the NFS server state in /var/lib/nfs. I added that directory to the DRBD volume, so that /var/lib/nfs would be consistent between primary and secondary during failover. This works, mostly; I can "service corosync stop" on the primary and everything transfers smoothly to the secondary, but I have to reboot the primary before can I transfer resources back to that same box; otherwise I get NFS errors. While reading the above document, I just learned about the Pacemaker exportfs resource. *headdesk* Is that the correct way to do it? If I used that resource, would I have to worry about maintaining state information in /var/lib/nfs across my cluster nodes? -- Bill Seligman | Phone: (914) 591-2823 Nevis Labs, Columbia Univ | mailto://seligman@nevis.columbia.edu PO Box 137 | Irvington NY 10533 USA | http://www.nevis.columbia.edu/~seligman/ -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
