Blizbor,
I just want to clarify that a shared scsi solution can be made no-SPOF and thus
is at least as reliable as a drbd based solution.
The real issue is cost, not reliability.
To do a no SPOF shared scsi solution, you have to build 2 separate shared scsi
buses each with a set of data drives, then mirror the data between the 2
different buses. Another key component is to use external bus terminators,
never internal.
I have never setup this kind of solution under Linux, but it is one of the very
few no SPOF solutions officially supported in Compaq UNIX TruClusters.
