Re: [CentOS] drbd strategy

Thanks guys for the info. I understand that the secondary machine needs a /var too while in standby, and since it can't also mount it as part of the DRBD array, then it has to be a vanilla partition on both machines. Thanks for clearing that up.

You would be better off by using a DRBD partition for "/var/lib/mysql" and leaving the rest of "/var" out of DRBD.

But DRBD only replicates entire physical devices right? So I would have to re-partition... if so I can't do that.

But we could move mySQL files to /home or something as well. Not pretty but it should work.
