This is done by mirroring a whole block device via +(a dedicated) network. You could see it as a network RAID1. 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. + +Starting with Linux 2.6.33, DRBD is officially integrated into the +vanilla Linux kernel source. Besides the kernel integration, DRBD +continues to be developed out of tree. + +This SlackBuild compiles the userland tools for working with DRBD. +If you have a 2.6.33 kernel or later then you will need to ensure +DRBD has been configured in your kernel. If you have an earlier +kernel, then you will need the drbd-kernel package. -- cgit v1.2.3
