Quoting Ed W <lists@wildgooses.com>:
Anyone had success using some other clustered/HA filestore with
dovecot who can share their experience? (OCFS/GFS over DRBD, etc?)GFS2 over DRBD in an active-active setup works fine IMHO. Not perfect, but it was cheap and works well... Let's me reboot machines with "no downtime" which was one of my main goals when implementing it...
My interest is more in bootstrapping a more highly available system
from lower quality (commodity) components than very high end useGFS+DRBD should fit the bill... You need several nics and cables, but they are dirt cheap... Just 2 machines with the same disk setup, and a handful of nics and cables, and you are off and running...
Can you easy scale that GFS2+DRBD to have more then just 2 nodes? Is it possible to aggregate the speed when using many nodes? Can all the nodes at the same time be active or is one node always the master and the other a hot spare that kicks in when the master is down?
Thanks
