MySQL Active - Active Clustering
Submitted by Shinguz on Tue, 2007-03-13 12:06It is possible to use an active - active shared-disk cluster in MySQL in some cases. For doing this you have to fulfil the following requirements:

- POSIX-locking compliant cluster file system on the device (such as OCFS2 or GFS).

- The MySQL query cache must be turned off.
- The MySQL delay key write must be turned off.
- OS where file locking is supported in MySQL.
