Dear collegues!
I've got one question about drbd-kmdl packages. As I can see at $ rpm -qp --qf "%{DESCRIPTION}" kmod-drbd-8.0.16-5.el5_3.i686.rpm This package provides the drbd kernel modules built for the Linux kernel 2.6.18-128.4.1.el5 for the i686 family of processors.
So, the question is - kmod-drbd is for kernel 128.4.1 (or build for this kernel version), but current kernel is 164.11.1. Does that means that kmod-drbd should be rebuild for each kernel or it works vell without rebuild?
No, it is a kernel version independent, kABI-tracking kernel module. So, it should survive each kernel update. No need for rebuilding. (It is different from drbd-kmdl)
Oh, and yes, that description should be changed to reflect the fact. :-D
Ralph? Are you the dev in charge of the maintenance?
