What exactly you want to build? The only thing that you probably can't do on CentOS5 using DRBD/Corosync or Heartbeat/Pacemaker is building an active/active dual master cluster with share clustering file system like OCSF2, And that is because kernel is too old there. everything else is possible. If you do need a dual master (which is a pretty rare case) then use other distro. > > -- > Les Mikesell > [email protected] > > _______________________________________________ > Linux-HA mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha > See also: http://linux-ha.org/ReportingProblems > -- Serge Dubrouski. _______________________________________________ Linux-HA mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha See also: http://linux-ha.org/ReportingProblems
