Summary : Program for managing links into a DRBD shared partition
URL : https://www.tummy.com/software/drbdlinks/
License : GPLv2
Description : The drbdlinks program manages links into a DRBD partition which is shared
: among several machines. A simple configuration file, "/etc/drbdlinks.conf",
: specifies the links. This can be used to manage e.g. links for /etc/httpd,
: /var/lib/pgsql and other system directories that need to appear as if they
: are local to the system when running applications after the drbd shared
: partition has been mounted.
:
: When running drbdlinks with "start" as the mode, drbdlinks will rename the
: existing files/directories and then make symbolic links into the DRBD
: partition, "stop" does the reverse. By default, rename appends ".drbdlinks"
: to the name, but this can be overridden.
:
: An init script is included which runs "stop" before heartbeat starts, and
: after heartbeat stops. This is done to try to ensure that when the shared
: partition isn't mounted, the links are in their normal state.
