DRBD master/slave setup

In the last time I get a lot questions and feedback to some older posts (Active/Passive Cluster) where I used DRBD. And actually I never wrote how to setup DRBD and I try to fill this gap now. Also this post will be a new ground for some new ideas and posts related to Active/Passive Clustering with KVM.

DRBD (Distributed Replicated Block Device) is a really cool cluster solution to have radundant data on two or more nodes. Everybody know RAID, DRBD is like RAID 1 over network.

    Move min/max/close buttons to the right side

    With version 10.4 Ubuntu design team decided to move the “minimize/maximize/close” buttons to the left side. For everybody who do not like this and want their old buttons back on the right, follow the instructions.






    Open to the “Terminal” or “Konsole” and run this:

    1
    
    gconf-editor

    Now navigate to:

    1
    
    apps => metacity => general

    And change the key button_layout from:

    1
    
    maximize,minimize,close:

    to

    1
    
    menu:minimize,maximize,close





    Even faster is this command you need to run in your terminal/shell:

    1
    
    gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string menu:minimize,maximize,close
