Interesting that you should mention that, because our Xymon installation has
all of the /var/hobbit/data stuff stored on a SAN mount. This has worked
out fairly well for us (though we did have an intermittent issue for a few
months that eventually got straightened out).
However, I'm working on implementing an HA solution for Hobbit using
LinuxHA, and I think we'll be moving from SAN-based storage to local
storage, using DRBD for replication between the two nodes.
