I got to work on a pretty cool piece of hardware lately in order to setup a highly redundant FS server. This is on Centos 5.x, you will need to grab the following packages from CentOS+: drbd83, kmod-drbd83, make sure you exactly match your kernel revision, you can grab the RPMS from the official mirror […]
