Since bug-reports for pre3 are completely useless by now, it is time for a new pre release. 8.0pre4 (api:83/proto:82) =2D------- * Added the "drbd-peer-outdater" heartbeat plugin. * New ("cluster wide") state changes. (Cluster wide serialisation of major state changes, like becoming primary, invalidating a disk etc...) * Write requests are now sent by the worker instead out of the process's context that calls make_request(). * The worker thread no longer gets restarted upon loss of connection. * A testsuite developed by students of 'FH Hagenberg' was added. Hopefully we really get into freezing the code base, and preparing a=20 stable release of drbd 8.0 http://oss.linbit.com/drbd/8.0/drbd-8.0pre4.tar.gz http://svn.drbd.org/drbd/tags/drbd-8.0pre4/ Please do: * stress tests IO pressure, memory pressure etc... * coverage tests Try to test all possible failure and recovery scenarios. * Performance comparison tests between drbd-0.7.x and drbd-8.0.x * Put OCFS2 / GFS on top of it (still untested from my side) Please send _usefull_ reports to drbd-dev@lists.linbit.com . Please note that that list is moderated, and we try to keep the traffic there quite low. Send random observations regarding DRBD-8 to drbd-user@lists.linbit.com Thanks! =2DPhilipp =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 :
