The app is for our own use, here are some of the characteristics: - Not RAID - Does Backups :P Now, our app uses MySQL Because of the possibility to extend, if necessary to Mysql-Cluster as we want to provide to our future customers a good service reliability... Read here: failover. The app is near to be commercialisable, so, we want to grow our server... to 2 servers (or 3 if mysql-cluster's mgm) I would like to implement RAID1 (Sounds like geom is the good option for this) without having to break my current system and just by doing one or two reboot... What can you advise me ? I will certainly move to MySQL cluster, as I already used it and it's the only option I know of that would allow failover. Any suggestion, Maybe a solution on the PgSQL side ? What about the failover system itself ? CARP ? Thanks for any tip :) Pierre
