Excerpt

We aim for inclusion of DRBD 8.3 into Linux-2.6.32

Description

I want to give insights into the challenges of a “shared nothing” clustering storage replication solution has deal with. Besides the challenges some of the methods and algorithms used in DRBD-8 might get presented: data generation UUDIs, resync-bitmap, the activity log, detection of conflicting writes and barrier semantics mapping. The features that became available with the release of DRBD-8.3 will of course be presented as well: device stacking, checksum based resync. Which can be used to set up disaster recovery nodes in addition to a conventional cluster. DRBD can also be used to implement the “follow the sun” model.
