The fixes for DRBD on LVM/MD made this release necessary. 0.7.2 (api:75/proto:74) ----- *) Propper handling of backing storage devices that occasionally fail READA (=read ahead) requests. (E.g. LVM and MD) *) DRBD now fails READA requests itself, if a resynchronisation is running and it would need to fetch the block from its peer. *) "drbdadm adjust" had a race, which caused random errors. ( Missing waitpid() ). Fixed now. *) Popper substract SyncPause times from the syncer performance numbers. *) Fix to the syncer progress bar in /proc/drbd. *) Fix to debian build rules. In case everything works for you with a 0.7.0 or 0.7.1 installation you might consider to stay with that release. Although that race condition in drbdadm is a stong argument to upgrade even for those, who do not use LVM or MD. In case you are upgarding from an 0.7.0 to this release please read http://svn.drbd.org/drbd/tags/drbd-0.7.1/upgrade_0.7.0_to_0.7.1.txt for more details. If you are upgrading from an 0.6.x release please have a look at http://svn.drbd.org/drbd/tags/drbd-0.7.1/upgrade_0.6.x_to_0.7.0.txt You can find the .tgz at LINBIT's area http://www.linbit.com/29.html?&L=1 -Philipp -- : Dipl-Ing Philipp Reisner Tel +43-1-8178292-50 : : LINBIT Information Technologies GmbH Fax +43-1-8178292-82 : : Schönbrunnerstr 244, 1120 Vienna, Austria http://www.linbit.com :
