Funny, there was just a thread on the extra repo's drbd packages today in the drbd list. Given those packages have bugs and are not really maintained, along with the fact of how easy it is to make rpm's directly from source (lacking kmod though) might it be wise to drop them?
I saw a brief discussion on this subject (maintaining drbd etc) on the centos-devel IRC channel not long ago. Maybe this matter should be discussed in the -devel mailing list ?? I would like to hear from core CentOS devs.
As suggested, I am posting here to get the dev feedback, clearly having kmods is a much better solution than linbits approach, but the existing bugs will likely catch most new uses off guard.
I have edited the subject line to make clear what we are going to discuss. :D
I remember the major work of the last update was done by Ralph with extensive help from Fabian and other community members. I hope they can continue the effort. :)

I hope they can also, and I can help with the effort, if needed.

+1 .. especially because i have to setup a new DRBD cluster on CentOS 5.x in the following weeks ;-)

I also was thinking along the same lines, but definitely won't have time this weekend.
I don't want to update heartbeat, as the version we have is the last version which still supports v1 style configurations. I want to drop drbd 8.2.x if possible and just keep 8.3.x and 8.0.x.
If someone is able to test those packages, I'll probably have something by next week.
Would be nice if someone can poke me in IRC beginning of next week.
Cheers,
Ralph

I'd like to test them. I already made some 8.3.6 kmod rpms for our internal use based on your work.
Thx Rainer

Hrm. Did I only answer Rainer?
I tried to "just update" the RPMs which are already there, but it looks like the build process has been changed.
I have to take a deeper look into the 8.3.7 documentation, it's not just replacing 8.3.1 sources with 8.3.7 sources.

Just let me know when there is something to test/have a look at .... Unfortunately *very* busy for the moment, but i hope it will be easier when i'll have started at $new_job ... including the fact that i'll have to udpate their DRBD clusters in the following weeks

If that worked for you ...
I wouldn't want to guarantee that.

I believe this blog is still a useful reference:

Yes. We could have broken your system automatically by installing both versions, but after a few discussions we chose not to do that.
In other words: This is an update which requires you to do some planning. For several reasons we will still maintain the 8.0.x series of drbd, but advise to use 8.3.x.
As you can see the package is named differently, too, which should make clear that this is not an update.

Ralph

I'm running drbd83-8.3.7-1.el5 and drbd83-kmod-8.3.7-2 on el5 x86_64 fine.
And I took the srpms and rebuilt against kernel el5.5 kernel .194 , these are fine, too.

why did you need to rebuild them ? do you see a kabi change somewhere ?
No kabi changes afaik. Did it just for looking at the build output.

I'm running drbd83-8.3.7-1.el5 and drbd83-kmod-8.3.7-2 on el5 x86_64 fine.
I've configured two drbd nodes (one running -xen kernel and the other one running plain normal kernel). I've synced +200Gb between those two nodes succesfully and switched back and forth primary role without any issue. I've not tested integration with heartbeat/rhcs though.

I see them running on 5 - does anyone still have a CentOS 4 around to test those on? If not I'll setup 2 xen instances, but ...
