Some more bad, drbd kernel modules naming convention off:

oops ... I meant inside the "extras" repository (not the "plus") repository for the next line
Inside the plus repository there are drbd kernel modules for the standard kernels and the plus kernels.
Inside the centosplus repos there are also xfs kernel
modules for both
the standard and plus kernels.
The naming convention concerning %dist for certain files, is that upstream is ever chancing their %dist. In this newest
incarnation, they
are going to use:
.el4 and .el5
So, centos wants to use .el4.centos and .el5.centos (in
the past, we
did use .centos or .c4 or .centos4) the %dist should have no real effect on anything ... or maybe I am missing the point of
the question.
One thing to remember after major changes is that it takes
some finite
amount of time for all external mirrors to update ... maybe
the one you
were using has the standard kernel but the plus kernel
(shipped some 12
hours or so later) had not made it there yet.
I am using the i686-plus kernel and drbd modules on 8 drbd clusters without any issues that I can see.
I understand that, but the new kernel modules for drbd have 'centos' identifier instead of 'c4'.
kernel-module-drbd-2.6.9-42.0.10.EL.x86_ 0.7.23-1.el4.centos extras kernel-module-drbd-2.6.9-42.0.10.ELlarge 0.7.23-1.el4.centos extras kernel-module-drbd-2.6.9-42.0.10.ELsmp.x 0.7.23-1.el4.centos extras kernel-module-drbd-2.6.9-42.0.10.plus.c4 0.7.23-1.el4.centos extras kernel-module-drbd-2.6.9-42.0.10.plus.c4 0.7.23-1.el4.centos extras kernel-module-drbd-2.6.9-42.0.10.plus.c4 0.7.23-1.el4.centos extras
versus
kernel-module-drbd-2.6.9-42.0.8.EL.x86_6 0.7.23-1.c4 extras kernel-module-drbd-2.6.9-42.0.8.ELlarges 0.7.23-1.c4 extras kernel-module-drbd-2.6.9-42.0.8.ELsmp.x8 0.7.23-1.c4 extras kernel-module-drbd-2.6.9-42.0.8.plus.c4. 0.7.23-1.c4 extras kernel-module-drbd-2.6.9-42.0.8.plus.c4l 0.7.23-1.c4 extras
Does that make a difference, will yum recognize it as a upgrade or dependency from the current version?
Also I didn't install the standard kernel I did a yum update from 2.6.9-42.0.8.plus.c4smp and it went ahead and installed the standard?
Maybe the mirror hadn't received all the updates yet and it decided the standard was the best candidate?
