Can someone who has tried both gluster and drbd please comment on the 
pros and cons with respect to a clustered vserver setup?  Support, 
ability to run multiple active/active configurations, ease of setup, 
performance, how often it requires a rebuild from tape backup...?

I need to build an active/active setup for a project and it seems to 
come down to DRBD+OCFS vs glusterfs at the end of the day..?  Which one 
is least likely to bite me later...?

Cheers
