This is a repost of DRBD

Is it being used anywhere for anything?  If so, where and what?

One popular application is to run iSCSI and HA software on top of DRBD
in order to build a highly available iSCSI storage target.

Confirmed, I have several customers who're doing exactly that.

I will also say that there are a lot of us out here who would have a use for DRDB in our HA setups, but have held off implementing it specificly because it's not yet in the upstream kernel.
