drbd can be used to keep the db files up to date between the hosts instead of mysql cluster, which i don't like at all.
DBRD for MyDWL data replication? that's really dangerous. Even if you do a simple "scp" of a MyISAM database between two similar hosts, the copy will become "not optimized".
so as i wrote earlier: dbbd is ok, but linux ha even in v2 is still not good for this job.
I don't agree. How do you change the DBR status from slave to active and from active to slave? with a command from a remote computer? I think this is really better if it's done in localhost with powerfull and tested HeartBeat commands (IMHO).
