[torqueusers] ha torque

[Daniel Bourque]

Thanks,

    I'll try with a 1GB volume over DRDB since I don't have a SAN.

    I'm assuming I can use that same volume for Maui files too. Since 
HA-Oscar works, then that must mean that Maui is able to recover from 
failure, ie the databases are not thrashed by an unclean termination.

thanks again
