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.
