DRBD and Heartbeat seem pretty solid together for cheap affective high availability. We've been using them for our production FTP servers which handle hundreds of thousands transactions a day both uploading/downloading. We fail over between the two every 6 months and haven't had any problems on CentOS 4.3, they've actually been up for several hundred days now. There is actually a yumgroup named drbd-heartbeat in the CentOS extras repository but I don't see that it is available in CentOS 5.0. Does anyone know if these packages will be available in any of the CentOS 5.0 yum repositories?
I think they were just built for C5 and are currently in testing repo.

Ah, so the testing repository (CentOS 5) is now separate from the main stream repositories and is located at dev.centos.org. I did not know that. Do you happen to know how/if packages in the testing repository will be promoted into the "official" CentOS repositories that are so easily rsync'd against? Will they be promoted to the extras repository in CentOS 5? Thanks.
After they are tested, they usually get moved into the appropriate place in the tree. But they will not get moved until some people test them and give some positive feedback on their usability and functionality.
