Hmm, what issues did you run into? I've used it on a few projects in a mirrored way and it was always fine. Is the clustering the issue?

Not OP, but that is my experience. It worked like a rock on a single server. Clustering brought us issues rooting from its complexity. Split brain scenario, corruption of the Mnesia database and such. We went back to single server mode.

>Mnesia

Is Mnesia just terrible or is there some trick? I did run into issues you're talking about with ejabberd clusters.

Same! Never bothered with the so-called HA setup after running a cluster for few months. Making all messages durable + backups of underlying storage are sufficient, while the do not prevent an outage, at least bringing the system back to an operational state is fairly straightforward
