# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line # up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' # on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must # make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':'. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| drbd-tools: drbd-tools (Userland Tools for Distributed Replicated Block Device) drbd-tools: drbd-tools: DRBD is a block device which is designed to build high availability drbd-tools: clusters. This is done by mirroring a whole block device via drbd-tools: (a dedicated) network. You could see it as a network RAID1. DRBD drbd-tools: takes over the data, writes it to the local disk and sends it to drbd-tools: the other host. On the other host, it takes it to the disk there. drbd-tools: drbd-tools: This package provides the userland tools for working with DRBD. drbd-tools: drbd-tools: Home: http://www.drbd.org
