linux.file-systems.intermezzo.general

Subject: stability

Recently I was asked to set up two webservers in such a way that either one could fail and the other would take over -- in other words, simple high-availability. Intermezzo seemed perfect, except that it had a big flaming warning about how experimental the software was.

Intermezzo has been "experimental" for how long now? Seems like it should be stable by now. I tried it, and had a problem (similar to one described on the list, apparently) of simple programs like "touch" segfaulting, subsequent mount/umount and killall intersync attempts going into uninterruptable sleep, and kernel oopses. On some test of 2.6, with the latest (gentoo) version of intersync. Have things gotten better since then?
