Red Hat don't give an option. They say that a cluster fs must be used:
Right - if you use CTDB, then you need a cluster FS. But, does CTDB really helps you? With the hardware you described I really doubt that you get more performance using CTDB compared to a single access samba server. If you have high speed disks, high speed network connections, then CTDB provides more performance. If one of this is missing you will miss the performance. In addition, you're using DRBD, which is different from accessing a shared - and fast - storage. If you do not gain performance by using CTDB then it only increases the complexity of the setup - worst case is that you loose performance. That said, you might get a better experience using traditional samba in a fail-over configuration. greetings Kai Dupke Senior Product Manager Server Product Line -- Phone: +49-(0)5102-9310828 Mail: kdupke@suse.com Mobile: +49-(0)173-5876766 WWW: www.suse.com SUSE Linux Products GmbH - Maxfeldstr. 5 - 90409 Nuernberg (Germany) GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nurnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ha+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ha+owner@opensuse.org
