I have a pair of centos 6 systems, with a rather large raid thats DRBD replicated from box 1 to box 2... box 1 mounts this as /data when box 1 reboots, /data doesn't get mounted, but the drbd replication starts up just fine. the entry in fstab is... /dev/drbd0 /data xfs inode64 1 0 once the system is booted up, if I `mount /data`, it mounts just fine. I'm not using any sort of heartbeat or other HA management software, if box 1 fails, I'll manually configure box2 to take over after physically disabling box1 so it can't wake up a zombie. -- john r pierce, recycling bits in santa cruz
