[Lustre-discuss] DRBD + active/active OST, again

[Andrew Godziuk]

Hi,

I know this topic has been discussed here many times, but all the
messages seem to be about Lustre 1.6.

Has anything changed in Lustre 1.8 that would make it possible to set
up two OSS with an OST shared using DRBD, in an active-active
configuration?

I have mounted a shared OST on two OSS nodes, none of them marked with
"--failover", and it looked as if it was working, but I didn't do any
stress tests for reliablility. Does such setup ever have a chance to
work for real or did it only look as if everything was OK?
