Hello,
I've just noticed that the file /etc/ha.d/resource.d/drbddisk, which belongs to package drbd-8.0.6-1.el5.centos, is missing from one of my test machines:
# rpm --verify drbd S.5....T c /etc/drbd.conf missing /etc/ha.d/resource.d/drbddisk
I'm looking at this as an opporunity to learn something about RPM which bugged me for a while - in Debian, aptitude and apt-get provide options to re-install existing package without removing it.
If I understand this correctly, then "rpm -i --force drbd-8.0.6-1.el5.centos.rpm" would re-install the package. Is this correct?
The rpm solution would require me to find and manually download the rpm file. Is there a way to do this through yum?
Thanks,
--Amos

you can always "yum install synaptic" and do your stuff with synaptic/apt (it's in rpmforge) that's the only thing I ever use yum for ;-)

Not as described, although you can use yumdownloader in yum-utils to pull down the package, and a plugin can be written for yum that allows this.
