[CentOS] DRBD question.

[Gary Richardson]

Hey,
The last time I built the RPM's for DRDB, two RPM's were generated. One was
the toolset, the other was the kernel module.

On systems that were running custom or older kernels, I would have to
rebuild the RPM on those machines so that the kernel version numbers matched
properly. Make sense?
