Re: DFS alternative for linux

Linux does in fact have something like that, DRBD. It works with
multimaster replication, I've used this reliably on a high-volume postgres
database.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DRBD

You will need to set aside a partition on the hard drive (or local raid) on
each system you need to share.

Also be careful to take lots of time to set it up properly and ALWAYS run
exactly the same version on every system!

Good luck,
Dave
