>I'd like to know where the *real* advantages of Nexenta/ZFS (i.e. >ZFS/StorageTek) over DRBD/Heartbeat are.
The main advantage of OpenSolaris is native ZFS, the many advantages of which are well described in many places, such as http://opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/docs/zfs_last.pdf. A disadvantage, however, is that Sun StorageTek Availability Suite (AVS), the DRBD equivalent in OpenSolaris, is much less flexible than DRBD. For example, AVS is intended to replicate in one direction, from a primary to a secondary, whereas DRBD can switch on the fly. See http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=68881&tstart=30 for details on this. -- Maurice Volaski, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Computing Support, Rose F.
