RE: Failsafe, shared SCSI, and linux's software RAID

Thanks for the information.  I'll look over the documentation on drdb.  It looks like an external raid enclosure will probably be the way to go with this.

No; Software RAID and Shared storage doesn't work together well at all, but
that isn't the fault of FailSafe.

Maybe you want to look at drbd instead; we are just doing some stress tests on
it to get it to be more stable on SMP systems.
