Re: backup mail server

[Lee]

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

Yes, we're using hearbeat. Heres the requisite config:

/etc/ha.d/haresources:
servname.host.com     100.102.248.46 datadisk::drbd0 cyrus postfix

- 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) ?

sda6 is our "data" partitiion where we keep /var/spool/imap /var/imap/ /var/spool/mail and all of our configuration files.

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.

We use drbd (http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/reisner/drbd/) and
linux-ha's (http://www.linux-ha.org/) heartbeat to create two-box

beautifully.

Are you using the drdb from CVS on a 2.4.x kernel? Could you provide
details of the drdb version and OS off list?

A copy/paste of your config file would also be great as example, if
they do
not contain too much sensitive data of course which shouldn't be the
case...

Thanks
