Multi-master n-way filesystem > replication is available in GlusterFS. I would count rbd of ceph and also sheepdog as n-way replication at the block-level. Although its the block-devices of virtual machines. And who needs block-level replication for something else then VMs anyway? :-) I tried HA-nfs with drbd below but went back to just providing drbd to a vm for the nfs and (re)start that vm from corosync/pacemaker. Its a bigger problem with samba as windows doesn't seem to like it when the server crashes and restarts, probably because some packets in between are answered with 'rejected'. nfs and smtp/imap are far more tolerant. But somehow I fear my eviction from this list when I always answer posts with a list of alternatives... Hint to the list-maintainers: I do have drbd running in production, I do not (yet) have one of the other in production...
