Description-en: Manages symlinks into a shared DRBD partition
Manages symlinks 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 links for
/etc/apache, /var/lib/pgsql, and other system directories that need
to appear as if they are local to the system when running
applications after a drbd shared partition has been mounted.
.
DRBD is a RAID 1 over TCP/IP solution, please have a look at the
packages drbd-utils and drbd-module-source for more information.
