Filesystem for shared access (ro) on drbd ?

Post #1 of 5 (1014 views)

Hello,

have someone any idea about a Filesystem for Linux that can be used to
access one drbd-device at the some time on both nodes ?

on the second node i need just the read-only access...
mounting of drbd with ext2 on the secondary node is not this what i
want... -> strange behavior.

May be someone has any idea how to make read-only access on the
secondary node.

Please help !

Julius

And nowerdays there is also an open GFS project...

But DRBD does not (jet) allow you to use GFS on top of it.

Yes, and after we have our first bugfix release out, one of the higher
priorities is to get drbd working with OpenGFS.

Hey, good to hear. Will you be at Linux-Kongress in Twente/NL ?
In case you are going there, we should have a OpenGFS-DRBD session there.

No, I planned to give a Linux-ABI talk, but I have to do physics exams :(

Maybe other members of the OpenGFS Team are there, I bet Arjan will be there.
Arjan would you be interested in such a session?

Of course it doesn't work. We've performed a software upgrade.
