Hello, I am in the process of setting up DRBD on my servers, the network bandwidth being the bottleneck. After having evaluated GlusterFS I realised, that I need the instant read access offered by DRBD. Logically I am able to separate partitions that would require access from both nodes, and partitions where an asynchronous master-slave sync is sufficient. But as far as I understand, the benefits from using Protocol A instead of C are limited, when the network is stable. My question: Are there any additional benefits from NOT using two primaries or additional risks when using it? eg. would there be significant performance gain by using ext4 instead of GFS2/OCFS2? Anything else I should take into consideration? Thanks for any ideas or pointers where to look. Karel
