-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Up until now, I have been using drbd for file custers with great success. Yes, it is a PITA, and sometimes you can get annoying sincronization issues (mostly on lab situations). Now I have been considering giving gnbd (with cs/gfs) a try. Do any of you ever crossed this path ? Any comparisons or comments ?

I have used GNBD for xen migration and works like a champ and is also recommended by xen team. I dont know if that helps.

Any comparisons or comments ?I use drbd, but that is because I am doing exactly what it was designed for (creating a backup, failover server ... setting side-by-side with a crossover cable in case of server failure). I have no experience using gnbd for that, so I really can't comment on whether it might be better. Thanks, Johnny Hughes -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
