[Moosefs-users] MooseFS failover on github

[Thomas S H. <tha...@gm...>]

I have simplified the ucarp, but set up a daemon that manages the metalogger
because after a failover the metadata on the loggers was corrupt until there
was a fresh pull from the master.

I don't have a document yet, as you can see by my github, I have been very
busy lately, but so far on my tests this setup has been flawless, even with
rapid cascading failovers, downtime between failovers depend on the speed
the drives storing the metadata, I have some ideas to speed this up, but
life happens.

I know that failover is in very high demand for MooseFS, if anyone wants to
help with this patches and github pull requests are VERY welcome.

The code is here:

Let me know what you all think!

P.S.
I have a few other projects that might be helpful for people, if you are
interested take a look at salt, clay and varch, we use them extensively at
Beyond Oblivion
