Users of ancient 2.4.x (RH 2.4.9!) kernels will now be able to use drbd-0.7.x 0.7.5 (api:76/proto:74) ----- * Fix a bug that could case read requests to return wrong data on a node in Primary/SyncTaget state. (A very unlikely race, it is not known that this ever triggered; It was found by an ASSERTION in the code) * Removed the 30MB/sec speeding limit for the syncer. (this was intended as a debugging aid, but it was not removed in time) * A fix to drbdsetup, to make drbdadm adjust work if a resource is diskless. * Got rid of the compiler warning when build on a kernel with CONFIG_LBD not set. * Now the device nodes are created with sane permissions. * The debian package is now named "drbd0.7" * set_fs() is now also done for sendpage() * Better compatibility with early 2.4.x kernels (BH_Launder, min()/max()) * Touch /var/lock/subsys/drbd, needed for RedHat based distros. * Improvements to the INSALL document * Removed HOWTO, ja, pt_BR ... all hopelessly outdated. disabled benchmark/run.sh -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 :
