Description-en: RAID 1 over TCP/IP for Linux (user utilities)
Drbd is a block device which is designed to build high availability
clusters by providing a virtual shared device which keeps disks in
nodes synchronised using TCP/IP. This simulates RAID 1 but avoiding
the use of uncommon hardware (shared SCSI buses or Fibre Channel).
It is currently limited to fail-over HA clusters.
.
This package contains the programs that will control the drbd kernel
module provided in the Linux kernel.
