backup mail server

Hi Lee,

First thanks for your configuration file... I have a few questions now
regarding your current setup:

- Are you using other tools like heartbeat or in the same kind ? If yes
which tool ?

- From your drbd configuration file I can see that you are using /dev/sda6
as physical disk, is that your Cyrus partition (/var/spool/imap) ?


Thanks
Marc


drbd configuration file:

resource drbd0 {
         protocol=C
         fsckcmd=fsck.ext2 -p -y

         inittimeout=60
         skip-wait=yes

         disk {
                 do-panic
                 disk-size=66621523
         }

         net {
                 sync-rate=6M
                 tl-size=5000
                 timeout=60
                 connect-int=10
                 ping-int=10
         }


         on box1 {
                 device=/dev/nb0
                 disk=/dev/sda6
                 address=10.0.0.1
                 port=7789
         }

         on box2 {
                 device=/dev/nb0
                 disk=/dev/sda6
                 address=10.0.0.2
                 port=7789
         }

}

Boxes are connected together via serial and etho links.
