DRBD is a block device which is designed to build high availability clusters DRBD is a block device which is designed to build high availability clusters. This is done by mirroring a whole block device via (a dedicated) network. You could see it as a network raid-1. What is the scope of drbd, what else do I need to build a HA cluster? DRBD takes over the data, writes it to the local disk and sends it to the other host. On the other host, it takes it to the disk there. The other components needed are a cluster membership service, which is supposed to be heartbeat, and some kind of application that works on top of a block device. Examples: A filesystem & fsck. A journaling FS. A database with recovery capabilities. in Public bookmarkswith availabilityblockbuildclustersdesigneddevicedrbdmirroringby 5 users
Main :: autopackage This is autopackage, the distro neutral packaging framework for Linux systems. Build packages that will install on many different distros Multiple front ends: best is automatically chosen so GUI users get a graphical front end, and command line users get a text based interface Multiple language support (both in tools and for your own packages) Automatically verifies and resolves dependencies no matter how the software was installed. This means you don't have to use autopackage for all your software, or even any of it, for packages to succesfully install. in Public bookmarkswith autopackagedistroneutralpackagingframeworklinuxsystemsbuild
