Thread: Lifekeeper
Hi, Is anyone using Lifekeeper for Linux availability with Postgres? If so, what are your thoughts on it? Work as advertised? Any dangerous gotchas? -- Brad Nicholson 416-673-4106 Database Administrator, Afilias Canada Corp.

May need to change the way it kills Postgres though, IIRC it defaults to a too-nice mode when you really want immediate. - -- Greg Sabino Mullane greg@turnstep.com End Point Corporation http://www.endpoint.com/ PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 201004021435 http://biglumber.com/x/web?pk=2529DF6AB8F79407E94445B4BC9B906714964AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEAREDAAYFAku2OS8ACgkQvJuQZxSWSsjDlwCfcwEoN6n6AyXTlqTc0nTZRaRv eq0AoNRdLZbt/xLnwZ30oOJpZwvuEoIZ =QIhY -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I have a lot of customers using it. The latest version fixes the issue that Greg is talking about (as far as killing postgres) but it works very nicely. They even have added DRBD style replication with built-in failure detection / failover and switchback. It automates the sync and everything and can be monitored via a GUI.
