[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBTM-312?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.s... ] Andrig Miller commented on JBTM-312: ------------------------------------ I might be worth investigating the active/backup model from HornetQ. You could use the journal file on a clustered file system (GFS2 and NFS are supported - NFS is only supported under very specific configuration guidelines), and use the same file locking semantics between the active and backup pair (multiple backups are supported too), and then there is no need to use a slow object store, with communication channels for the fail over. There is reduced complexity, no HA requirement on the database, and no need to something to watch each node. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
