Hi again,
Regarding your announcement on Friday i searched at "thohal.de" for your
"secret howto", didn't you post it there?
Where can i find it? Or isn't it quiet finished yet?
Perhaps you could just loose some words about the problem of locking when
mounting drbd on both sides at the same time?
I think for me, an example like:
Partitions on both sides -> DRBD -> OCFS2 -> mount on both sides
Would be eventually enough for me to begin implementation?
So how do you "mix" drbd, lvm and vbd(which type of?) for this?
Kind regards, Florian
