| NOTE: In order to authenticate connections you have to select | |
| CRYPTO_HMAC and a hash function as well. | |
| DRBD is a shared-nothing, synchronously replicated block device. It | |
| is designed to serve as a building block for high availability | |
| clusters and in this context, is a "drop-in" replacement for shared | |
| storage. Simplistically, you could see it as a network RAID 1. | |
| Each minor device has a role, which can be 'primary' or 'secondary'. | |
| On the node with the primary device the application is supposed to | |
| run and to access the device (/dev/drbdX). Every write is sent to | |
| the local 'lower level block device' and, across the network, to the | |
| node with the device in 'secondary' state. The secondary device | |
| simply writes the data to its lower level block device. | |
| DRBD can also be used in dual-Primary mode (device writable on both | |
| nodes), which means it can exhibit shared disk semantics in a | |
| shared-nothing cluster. Needless to say, on top of dual-Primary | |
| DRBD utilizing a cluster file system is necessary to maintain for | |
| cache coherency. | |
| For automatic failover you need a cluster manager (e.g. heartbeat). | |

| Say Y here if you want to simulate IO errors, in order to test DRBD's | |
| behavior. | |
| The actual simulation of IO errors is done by writing 3 values to | |
| /sys/module/drbd/parameters/ | |
| enable_faults: bitmask of... | |
| 1 meta data write | |
| 2 read | |
| 4 resync data write | |
| 8 read | |
| 16 data write | |
| 32 data read | |
| 64 read ahead | |
| 128 kmalloc of bitmap | |
| 256 allocation of peer_requests | |
| 512 insert data corruption on receiving side | |
| fault_devs: bitmask of minor numbers | |
| fault_rate: frequency in percent | |
| Example: Simulate data write errors on /dev/drbd0 with a probability of 5%. | |
| echo 16 > /sys/module/drbd/parameters/enable_faults | |
| echo 1 > /sys/module/drbd/parameters/fault_devs | |
| echo 5 > /sys/module/drbd/parameters/fault_rate | |
| If unsure, say N. |
