[linux-lvm] RE: How to mirror or Replicate a primary server's data to asecondarymachine

[Bahadir Kiziltan]

I assume you mean a real-time replication solution. Also supports 
IP-failover so you don't worry about manual intervention.

- Constant Data (www.constantdata.com)
- PeerFS (www.radiantdata.com)

Both are the commercial products configured easily and can be downloaded for 
testing.
