Fixed. * Made DRBD work with Neil Brown's patch, that serializes recusive calls to generic_make_request(). FC4 included that patch in its later kernels. * Minor fixes to drbdadm * Compiles now also with Linux-2.6.16-rc1 * Updates to documentation and example config file to make it more clear that we talk about byte/second and not bit/second. One could say this release happened to bring an end to all the 'DBRD freezes on FC4 with the latest kernel' mails on the list ;) Seriously, there was also a rather critical bug in the way DRBD determines the size of its devices fixed. During normal operation everything works as expected. But when a disk crashes and you replace that one with a smaller one accidentally, DRBD shrunk its device to the new constrains with the past releases.=20 Staring with this release DRBD will simply refuse to accept a too small disk to a consistent degraded cluster node. http://oss.linbit.com/drbd/0.7/drbd-0.7.16.tar.gz http://www.linbit.com/support/drbd-0.7.16 http://svn.drbd.org/drbd/tags/drbd-0.7.16 Philipp =2D-=20 : Dipl-Ing Philipp Reisner Tel +43-1-8178292-50 : : LINBIT Information Technologies GmbH Fax +43-1-8178292-82 : : Sch=F6nbrunnerstr 244, 1120 Vienna, Austria http://www.linbit.com :
