I use NFS - stable solution, but if your looking more for redundancy, use the DRBD and heartbeat solution you mentioned. I have quite a few system running this - it works very well. You may also use Raid with DRBD. Sorry, I have never used iSCSI Target, looks interesting though.

Hello all,
At our office a have a server running 3 Xen domains. Mail server, etc.
I want to make this setup more redundant.
There are a few howtos on the combination of Xen, DRBD, and heartbeat. That is probably the best way.
Another option I am looking at is a piece of shared storage, a machine running CentOS with a large software RAID 5 array.
What is the best means of sharing the storage? I would really like to use a combination of an iSCSI target server, and GFS or OCFS.
But the iSCSI target server in the CentOS repos is a 'technology preview'
Have any of you used the iSCSI target server in a production environment yet?
Is NFS and option?
Kind regards, Coert Waagmeester
