Re: [CentOS] DRBD question.

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?

Gary, thanks for the reply and info.

I think the last time I did it, I got the tarball. I either did an rpmbuild -ta on it, or there was an rpm target in the makefile.

I didn't think of the rpmbuild was. I'll suggest that to him. I do rkhunter that way now and it works like a charm. Not sure what you mean by an rpm target in the makefile, though.

Regardless, I ended up with two RPM's -- a kernel module and the tools. On any systems that had different kernels, I had to recompile to get the kernel module.

Can you elaborate a little on the last sentence above, please? Again, not sure if you are saying to do something after the rpmbuild or that you just used the resultant rpms.

He is trying to get DRBD installed. He's using Centos 5.1 and the

He'll figure out the config if he can get it installed properly.
