RAILS is just an acronym for "Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Linux
Servers". Similar to RAID for disks. LVS is one form of RAILS, similar
to striping across disks (RAID level 0), and if there is redundancy,
similar to RAID 5. A Beowulf cluster is another form of RAILS (definitely
similar to striping too). A mirrored HA failover pair using heartbeat is
obviously similar in concept to a mirrored RAID level 1 drive.
I am just saying that I believe I invented the term, for whatever it
is worth, and I am saying that anybody can use it for just about any
reason whatsoever. You just can't prevent others from using it too
(unless you can prove you thought of it and started using it before
I announced it here a week ago, that is).
