drbd (Distributed Replicated Block Device)
|
|
|
|
DRBD is a block device which is designed to build high availability
|
|
clusters. This is done by mirroring a whole block device via
|
|
(a dedicated) network. You could see it as a network RAID1. DRBD
|
|
takes over the data, writes it to the local disk and sends it to
|
|
the other host. On the other host, it takes it to the disk there.
|
|
|
|
Starting with Linux 2.6.33, DRBD is officially integrated into the
|
|
vanilla Linux kernel source. Besides the kernel integration, DRBD
|
|
continues to be developed out of tree.
|
|
|
|
This SlackBuild compiles the userland tools for working with DRBD.
|
|
If you have a 2.6.33 kernel or later then you will need to ensure
|
|
DRBD has been configured in your kernel. If you have an earlier
|
|
kernel, then you will need the drbd-kernel package.
