Drbd is a block device which is designed to build high-availability clusters. This is done by mirroring a whole block device via a (dedicated) network. You could see it as a network raid 1.

Changes: A memory corruption fix, SLES9 support, and more.


Changes: With the non-blocking I/O hints, a bug was introduced that could lead to partially sent I/O hints, resulting in loss of connection. This issue is fixed now. There is a fix to the range check of the nice value in drbdsetup, and there are updates to the build system (Makefile and Makefile.SuSE-9.0).


Changes: Fixes were made for the bh_count > 0 bug, the multiple-timeouts-bug, and a bug when working with 4K fs. A patch was applied against datadisk the script. The code of on-the-fly counters was cleaned up. The syncer was rewritten. It is now a lot faster, but it only works with 4K fs. Meta-data management was implemented. DRBD is now able to select the node with the up-to-date data to become primary after a cluster restart. The datadisk/drbd scripts were rewritten two times. A serious bug pointed out by Eduard Guzovsky was fixed.


Changes: First freshmeat announcement.
